drowning in my sin

Lyrics

Verse 1
Lord, I'm drowning in my sin, water's rising high
Every day these thoughts choke me, strangling my soul alive
I hide from my own shadow, 'cause I hate the man I see
Running further from the good man, the one I used to be
Chorus
I'm pretending it's gonna be alright
While I'm dying slow from the inside
My past stretches long behind me, like a shadow on the road
There might not be another sunrise, Lord, this could be my last load
Verse 2
I cry out with no strength left, can't stand up on my own
Hand reaching through the darkness, calling on Your name alone
Emmanuel, come close to me, hear this broken plea
I'm tired of running, tired of hiding—Jesus, set me free
Chorus
I'm pretending it's gonna be alright
While I'm dying slow from the inside
My past stretches long behind me, like a shadow on the road
There might not be another sunrise—Lord, this could be my last load
Bridge (slower, spoken-sung, almost a prayer)
No more strength of my own to stand...
My hand is out... receive me...
Final Chorus (build a little, then resolve softly)
Save me, make me new from the inside out
Rewrite this heart that's full of doubt
Wash away the man I've hated, breathe new life into these bones
Jesus, take this drowning soul—lead me, Lord, back home
Outro (repeat softly, fading)
Drowning in my sin... but reaching out again...
Make me new... from the inside out
