Tossing back and forthLike a ship on stormy seas
waves crashing but not overtaking me [a]
I'm holding on to you
With all that I am
I don't want to sink and drown
And feel the demons drag me down
down to the depths of hell
Lift me off the ground
And carry me on your wings [b]
Seize my outstretched hand please (I need you)
I have decided to continue onwards
Despite the winds that whip my face
Defiantly fighting the abrasive words attempting to plunder me
Whispering evil things, trying to discourage me
God, I need your voice comforting and sweet
sweeter than honey, warmer than the rays of the sun, gentle as a blanket of love
Please bring me under your wing [c]
Protect me and hide me from the sting of
Death, trying to bring me to his chest
It is you who sustains me, Lord
You are my strength and my salvation [d]
You are all I have and you are all I need
So please, adopt me eternally [e]
