verse 1 Day one, drifting out at sea No sign of land, no sign of hope for me Rocking to and fro by the waves of complacency I'm just so tired of fighting to breathe Day two or day six, day twenty, day fifty They're all the same, nothing changes for me When will I ever be rescued? When will I ever be free? Oh, God, someone hear me, someone, please, yeah Instrumental verse 2 But wait, oh, but wait, there's a man Walking above all of this that surrounds me He takes my hand, takes my heart, rips me free Rips me free, rips me free, rips me free How can I ever repay You, mister? For setting my desperate soul on dry land For sending those storms away with a whisper For taking all of my burdens in Your hands In Your hands, in Your hands Instrumental verse 3 Today things have most certainly changed All of my pain for all God's hope exchanged When will I ever be rescued? That was my desperate plea And God, You heard me and set me free How can I ever repay You, mister? For setting my desperate soul on dry land For sending those storms away with a whisper For taking all of my burdens in Your hands In Your hands, in Your hands Guitar solo Final Chorus How can I ever repay You, mister? For setting my desperate soul on dry land For sending those storms away with a whisper For taking all of my burdens All of my burdens in Your hands
