Em Em D A

Em                  G                 Em
  Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched
D                A
And I wonder...
         Em
God where are you?
                    G           Em
I'm drowning in the mess I've made
        D
I can't do this on my own
   A
I'm crying out but I still feel alone
G                D                                 A
  Yearning for a distant time when when I was your own
               Em                        G
Wondering if I ever even knew you at all
              D                               A
God how can I face them all, they're haunting me;
                 Em                                     G
Violent voices screaming "this ain't who you outta be."
     Em        G                Em
So I asking to come and hold my heart
               D   A
Father hold my heart
Em
  So to continue the metaphor
    D              A
The water's rising quicker than ive еver seen before
    Em
And I look up, see anothеr wave coming
     G                                                          D
It's caught me in its undertow and I know to start swimming away

I'm gonna have to leave behind that which I've clung to
    A
And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
    Em
And I'm so scared cause I've been here before
            G
And I don't think that I could take this back and forth any more
D
This time I promise you that I've found my way
    A
I'm through with this sick carnival and I'm so tired of drifting away
G                                            D               A
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
                        Em
Now it's time to come home
G                      D
  Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!
                          A
The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
                                Em                                       D G
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down in the mud I cannot find my way
                                             Bm
So I take a stroke, but then I'm pulled back down
       Bm             G      A    Bm
Why do bad things happen to good people?
             Em
No one's good
             Bm
No one's good
        Bm           G        A     Bm
Why do good things happen to bad people?
              Em
Because He loves me
            G
Because He loves me
            A                      Bm            G
Because He calls me His child, although I have sinned
          A                          Bm        G
In the midst of the silence, He's moving within
   A   G
Within
                             D                                 A
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
                        Em  D G
Now it's time to come home
                      D
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!
                           A
The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
                                Em                                      D G
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down under now I cannot find my way
                                         Em
So I start to swim to shore but it’s too hard
                D  A
Father it’s too hard

(N.C. For a Beat)
A                 G
  And out of the raging sea
                    D
I'm lifted by His hand
                            A
An angel dragged me to dry land
