As I sit

I sink into the ocean of my thoughts

a deep sea

an abyss

and all my thoughts weigh me down 

so I sink deeper and deeper

now all is dark

and I miss dry land

for even in dry land,

there is hope for a sunrise

 

Oh Lord I need Your light

as I try to swim

and fight to fight

I need something to hold onto

for my chest is heavy

my head is cloudy 

I feel lost

drop your anchor

that I may have hope

and give me breath to breathe

for this may I now come to cope

that from the bottomless depths

my soul may swim up and see 

it's time to leave

 

Up again, my soul, my friend

seeking out its God

the boat I see

is now in reach

I am pulled against the cod

I see the Son

bright and kind

on a boat that will not sink

I am drawn to a lure

I was sure

that death was on the brink

I will stand with the Captain

my King, my Love, my Lord

He comforts me I love Him so

for in Him peace is stored
