Intro: Am G Am Gsus G
Verse I
F G(add4) Am Cmaj7
Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in Your sea of forgetfulness.
F G(add4) Am Cmaj7
The chains of yesterday sur- round me; I yearn for peace and rest.
F G(add4) Am Cmaj7
I don't want to end up where You found me, and it echoes in my mind,
F G(add4) F
keeps me awake to- night.
I know You've cast my sin as far as the East is from the West,
and I stand before You now as though I've never sinned.
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
from You leaving me this way.
