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

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

In Your hands, in Your hands

verse 3 
    E Am 
Today things have most certainly changed 
D                                      E 
All of my pain for all God's hope exchanged 
E 
When will I ever be rescued? 
Am 
That was my desperate plea 
    D                            E 
And God, You heard me and set me free
