Down at the bottom,
Of the deepest of seas.
I’m drowning in thoughts,
That I want to appease.

Trying to swim to the top,
But, like a weight I sink.
Praying for a way out,
And trying not to think.

I cry out to You, Father,
Bring me back afloat.
Only You can help me,
Get back into the boat.

God, plant my feet,
On the solid ground.
While facing these trials,
Make my mind sound.
