Going Under

I’m going under
Sinking fast
Weighted down
By the memories of the past

I’m going under
Strength is growing thin
Waiting for the moment
When I can breathe again

I’m going under
My soul is crying out
With my head under water
You cannot hear my shouts

Reaching for your hand
Will you be the one
The one to save this man
I am placing my trust within you
And I do believe
That you will pull me through
As new air fills my lungs
I know that you heard my cry
Thank you Lord
I was going under
And thought that I would die

The End
