Drowning

My feet are sinking into the sand
the tide is rising quickly
I'm begging You to reach out Your Hand
and rescue me from the danger that is approaching

The tide races up
and licks my feet
it pulls me out into the depths
and now I'm drowning

drowning in sorrow
drowning in pain
drowning in failure
and then i feel it

a strong steady hand
reaches out and grasps mine
You pull me out
You hold me close
You tell me that I'm safe

no more drowning
cause You hold me close
no more drowning
cause I'm safe in Your arms
