So where do we begin
And when will it end
I've got to get it out
I've locked it in my heart
But now it's coming out
With a scream, with a shout
Oh Lord, do not falter at my call
I need You for I stumble and I fall
In rising water
These feelings deep inside
Call out Your name
Do You hear what they say
I'm lost my friend, I've lost my pride
But You haven't changed
You are sure but I'm afraid
Oh Lord, give me the strength to move around
Without You I will surely drown
In rising water
Why won't You talk to me
When I speak do You hear
The evidence is plain to see
But the truth's not always clear
My wounded heart cries out in pain
It's broken in two
But I know I'm to blame
Give me shelter from the rain
And let Your love shine through
I come to You in my shame
Oh Lord, take this emptiness away
Without You I will slip and fade away
In rising water
In rising water
