[Verse 1]
People talk about what Jesus did,
Like He stopped working when the story ended.
But I’ve seen Him move in the mess I’m in—
Tiny sparks when my hope was dim.
Fear’s a liar, whispering fire,
Dragging me down to the place I break.
Worry’s useless, almost ruthless,
Driving me straight to an early grave.
[Bridge)
But rock bottom’s where I learned to breathe,
Where I learned that falling can set you free.
Lift my eyes up through the tears I cried,
Asking God to show me why…
[Chorus]
’Cause I was feeling in over my head,
Feeling like the floor fell out again.
Feeling powerless, overwhelmed,
Like no one hears me when I yell.
Feeling lonely, full of regret,
Crushing fear I couldn’t forget.
Feeling trapped in my own skin—
But God pulled me back again.
And the waves keep hitting,
But I keep swimming… so I don’t drown.
[Verse 2]
So I opened up the Word and prayed,
Searching for truth in the mess I made.
Focused on goodness, not my fear—
’Cause fear gets loud when God’s so near.
Rejected the lies, took hold of grace,
Stopped trying to earn what I can’t replace.
It’s not my effort—no, it’s Christ alone,
I boast in everything He’s already done.
[bridge)
So I thank Him even when I break,
Thank Him for every breath I take,
Raise my hands before I see—
The miracle He’s making in me.
[Chorus]
’Cause I was feeling in over my head,
Feeling like the floor fell out again.
Feeling powerless, overwhelmed,
Like no one hears me when I yell.
Feeling lonely, full of regret,
Crushing fear I couldn’t forget.
Feeling trapped in my own skin—
But God pulled me back again.
And the waves keep hitting,
But I keep swimming… so I don’t drown.
[Bridge )
And the devil whispers, “you’re not enough,”
“I bet you’ll quit, you’re gonna give up.”
But I won’t listen—I’m done with that.
I won’t chain myself to my broken past.
I’m looking forward, head held high,
God’s voice louder than the lies.
Even when the current drags me down—
He’s the lifeline pulling me out.
Chorus]
’Cause I was feeling in over my head,
Feeling like the floor fell out again.
Feeling powerless, overwhelmed,
Like no one hears me when I yell.
Feeling lonely, full of regret,
Crushing fear I couldn’t forget.
Feeling trapped in my own skin—
But God pulled me back again.
And the waves keep hitting,
But I keep swimming… so I don’t drown.
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I was feeling in over my head,
But now I’m learning to breathe again.
All that powerlessness I felt—
God showed me where the victory dwells.
Loneliness turned into love,
Fear got drowned in perfect trust.
I’m not trapped the way I was then—
God pulled me back again.
And the waves keep hitting,
But I keep swimming…
Yeah, I keep swimming—
He won’t let me drown.
