Today I woke up drowning
Could hardly catch my breath
Some days it is astounding
Life comes at you like death

I reached out and I grabbed You
To the heaven’s lifted a cry
You heard my desperate sorrows
My heart did catch Your eye

I cried out with a knowing
That You are always there
That You oh One will hear me
And You will always care

As I settled into thoughts of You
My heart did calm a bit
And fear turned into faith
My candle became lit

Oh how faithful are You God
You’re always there to hear
You’re drowning little daughter
Needed rescued from her fear

Now my heart is close to Yours
Safe in the harbor now
And if I slip and fall back in
I know You’ll help me out
