verse 1
E Am
Day one, drifting out at sea
D E
No sign of land, no sign of hope for me
E Am
Rocking to and fro by the waves of complacency
D E
I'm just so tired of fighting to breathe
D E Am
Day two or day six, day twenty, day fifty
D E
They're all the same, nothing changes for me
E
When will I ever be rescued?
Am
When will I ever be free?
D E
Oh, God, someone hear me, someone, please, yeah

verse 2
E
But wait, oh, but wait, there's a man
Am
Walking above all of this that surrounds me
D E
He takes my hand, takes my heart, rips me free
Am D E
Rips me free, rips me free, rips me free
E D G A E D G A
How can I ever repay You, mister?
E D G A E D G A
For setting my desperate soul on dry land
E D G A E D G A
For sending those storms away with a whisper
E D G A E D G A
For taking all of my burdens in Your hands
E D G A
In Your hands, in Your hands

E Am
Today things have most certainly changed
D E
All of my pain for all God's hope exchanged

When will I ever be rescued?
Am
That was my desperate plea
D E
And God, You heard me and set me free
E D G A E D G A
How can I ever repay You, mister?
E D G A E D G A
For setting my desperate soul on dry land
E D G A E D G A
For sending those storms away with a whisper

For taking all of my burdens in Your hands

In Your hands, in Your hands
