Hour of Drowning

And I am drifting down the stream into a waterfall, and
I am trapped beneath the froth
Swimming for the surface, and reaching for the sides, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid of drowning

CHORUS
This is my fear, this is my cry--
Who will save me in my hour of drowning?
I cannot hear, I cannot see--
Darkness and gravity are all around me
Lord, hear my cry...

Now the crucial moment: coming up to breathe is
A fading opportunity
Cross the silent line into the mystery, where
I have no strength left in me
To seek the air, but
Now Your peace has overcome the cold despair, I'm
Hearing voices--am I here or There?

This is my fear, this is my cry--
Who will save me in my hour of drowning?
I cannot hear, I cannot see--
Darkness and gravity are all around me
Lord, hear my cry...

BRIDGE
Passed beneath the waters, once, yes,
A birth came from above
But now I am trapped below;
Where, under this water, is Your love?

This is my fear, this is my cry--
Who will save me in my hour of drowning?
I cannot hear, I cannot see--
Darkness and gravity are all around me
Lord, hear my cry...
