SLIPPING AWAY

Beneath the depths of the stormy sea
The crashing waves are drowning me
I'm slipping away slipping into the abyss
of the unknown
I am lost and I'm unable to find my way
home
Surrounded by people - silently screaming
to be heard
If only - when I open my mouth I could simply
utter one word
Oh! can You not look deep within and see
This endless need that is consuming me
The storm that rages is fierce and strong
Engulfing the boundaries of where I
belong
Meet me in this place of selfless worth
Place my feet back on solid earth
I'm slipping away slipping away from here
I need You now - I need You near
Gasping for air amid the raging waves
Let mine be a life that Jesus saves
Father! Father! I am sinking - I'm going
down
Reach out and pull me up before I
drown
Redeem this sinful heart
Let Your Glory Love upon me impart...
