From the Psalms
Drowning
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
Waters rising past my throat
In this mire, I'm going down
No foothold in the deep below
Just darkness as I start to drown
Where are you now, my God, my strength?
When hatred surrounds me like a flood
My enemies multiply like plagues
Their lies stain deeper than blood
Chorus
Save me, O God, before I drown
Let not the waters drag me down
My enemies laugh as I cry out
But you will make them bow down
(You will make them bow down)
Verse 2
They mock me in their ivory towers
For every tear I've shed in faith
But you know all my hours of prayer
You've bottled every tear I waste
Let their tables become their snares
Their peace become a trap divine
Pour out your wrath upon their heads
Let darkness be their wine
Chorus
Save me, O God, before I drown
Let not the waters drag me down
My enemies laugh as I cry out
But you will make them bow down
Bridge
I'm scorched with shame
But you know my name
They gave me poison when I thirsted
Now let their eyes be darkened
Let their backs be forever burdened
Verse 3
But I, though poor and wounded still
Will praise your name with burning song
Let heaven and earth join my voice
As you right every ancient wrong
Let all who seek you find new joy
Let humble hearts beat wild and free
For God will save his chosen ones
And break their chains to set them free
Final Chorus
Save me, O God, before I drown
Let not the waters drag me down
My enemies scatter at your frown
As you lift me, you cast them down
(You cast them down)
Outro
The seas will calm
At your great name
The waters still
Know who to blame
