I am hanging on to these last few straws because
They are all I've known, but the wind has blown so
hard, I'm far
From most everything that I thought I would need to
find You.
Now I'm at the edge of a blazing bridge I've burned.
Ooh, see me. Ooh, free me. Ooh, mighty is Your hand.
Looking back again, I see my sins so red. My head,
It is pounding now, and I don't know how to bring t
he ringing
To a duller roar than before I saw it all
Through the smiling eyes You realized in me.
The tension's straining now, gaining speed, losing
ground.
It silences all the sound. Where am I? Am I found?
The release floods o'er me now, gaining speed, gaining speed.
Your hand beneath me, my ground. You save me, You
save me!
