lyrics

VERSE ONE: Drowned in emotion/ Water level’s to the eyes/ Can’t stand the torrent of the world and it’s lies/ We see a void where our friend should stand/ It seems our finest constructions were really built on sand/ Who do I trust?/ In whom do I confide?/ Jesus grant joy and peace to whom it’s been denied/ Blind to a blessing in disguise/ Devised by the one who’s incomparably wise/ Forgive the deception of our minds/ And pray for comprehension/ To decipher the teaching through these times of tension/ Its unbearable the curse that we bear in conception/ If not for the cross and your resurrection/ Still, my vision is clogged with the fear of failure/ So with fixed gaze I behold the saviour/ Bring clarity/ Though days are plagued with similarity/ Like the psalmist I cry for your charity.

VERSE TWO (Roz): Walking through my memories/ Dejavous I’ve been here before/ Paved with bad intentions/ Full of wrong motivations/ Darkness was the shade I chose/ Thought I could walk it on my own/ Keeping bad company/ Sycophantic friendships surround me/ Alone was my state of mind/ Both hands tied and walking blind/ Turning myself over to sin/ Ignoring the state my heart was in/ From my breaking heart came a sound/ As the shattered pieces fell to the ground/ Tears came quick- put them aside/ Emotion had no place in my life/ Had no love for anyone/ Wanted to be left well alone/ If they hurt me, I’d repay with hurt/ Self esteem was in the dirt/ I needed a breakthrough/ I needed to receive from you/ Light came in, the dark is gone...

CHORUS (Roz): I am not alone/ You’ve come into my heart/ You hold me in your arms/ Now I’m drowning in your love.

VERSE THREE: Dilemma in the choice of belief/ Unsure whether doubt should reign, or if the truth is chief/ Receive what you please/ But I choose to cleave to the word written on the heart of all those who believe/ For the lost we grieve/ But step forward for the goal to achieve/ I won’t lag behind/ Uproot the roots of bitterness/ Its time to vacate this wilderness/ And shine this luminous light of mine/ Its true, we need healing in true soil/ Or we’ll waste away like reserves of crude oil/ The image of love has been spoiled/ Erasing the work for which our fathers toiled/ This world is temporary, though it’s waters consume/ It’s tides will change with the shape of the moon/ But fear not, his return is soon/ Call on the everlasting God to mend your wound.

VERSE FOUR: Unafraid to grown/ Inhale H2O/ To drown is to breather slow and absorb the flow/ So immerse me like the sea/ So profound is your love and unabounding is your mercy for me/ You came like the wind in this willow of old/ You gave us warm tears, ‘cause the pillow is cold/ As the pages foretold/ My soul for eternity’s sold/ Due to the bold move made by the son on the throne/ Heaven’s forever my home/ Jesus alone can ensure I’m not a foreigner wherever I roam/ Although we’re aliens and we’re prone/ We belong to the one that’s serenaded even by stones/ Which is why I can’t contain my praises in this shell of a dome/ I reap abundant fruit from other seeds that were sown/ Therefore my very mind and soul are not even my own/ I’m on loan/ Which is why I can safely, with confidence abandon/ My life and purpose just to walk in tandem/ With the creator, not to a life that’s random/ These circumstances I can’t stand ‘em/ But with God I float through them like a phantom...Let me drown/ Let me drown.
