Crying to the Lord

My heart cries to the Lord
My world is dark and gray
Adrift in choppy waters
I try to find my way

I call upon the Lord
To come and rescue me
I'm drowning and alone
Fighting the savage sea

Though I feel defeated
Still, I can see a light
My maker and my savior
Is a beacon in the night

Oh how You refresh me
Encourage and console me
God, your light soothes me
Holds me and renews me

The Lord extends His hand
And He calls out my name
He urges me to come
He wants to take my pain

I have to take his hand
The choice is up to me
Take shelter in my God
Or fight against the sea

Though I feel defeated
Still, I can see a light
My maker and my savior
Is a beacon in the night
