Swallow all my problems

I’m drowning in the noise, in the chaos of my mind,

Waves keep crashing, dragging me behind,

I’m fighting the storm, but I’m barely afloat,

Lord, I need Your mercy to carry this boat.

I’ve run from Your call, I’ve stumbled and failed,

Now I’m standing here, lost in the gale,

But like Jonah in the deep blue sea,

I’m crying out, “Lord, rescue me!”

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Tired of the weight that’s pulling me down,

Let Your grace turn this ship around—

⸻

(Chorus)

Wish the whale would swallow all my problems,

Take ‘em deep where I can’t see or feel,

Let the ocean hide my sorrow,

Till Your light breaks through and heals—

Like Jonah, I’ll surrender,

In the belly of the pain I’ll pray,

Lord, if it takes the whale to save me,

Then let it swallow me today.

⸻

(Verse 2)

The darkness isn’t empty, it’s where You speak loud,

In the belly of the beast, there’s no running now,

Every fear, every sin I’ve known,

You turn to lessons carved in stone.

So I’ll wait in the deep ‘til You call my name,

Through the pressure and the flame,

Cuz even in the darkest sea,

Your grace still finds its way to me.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

If it takes a storm to make me kneel,

Then Lord, I’ll face the ocean’s will—

⸻

(Chorus)

Wish the whale would swallow all my problems,

Take ‘em deep where I can’t see or feel,

Let the ocean hide my sorrow,

Till Your light breaks through and heals—

Like Jonah, I’ll surrender,

In the belly of the pain I’ll pray,

Lord, if it takes the whale to save me,

Then let it swallow me today.

⸻

(Bridge)

Swallowed but not forsaken,

Broken but awakened,

In the deep I find my soul reborn,

I was running, now I’m found,

In the silence I hear the sound,

Of mercy roaring louder than the storm.

⸻

(Final Chorus)

Wish the whale would swallow all my problems,

Drag them down where Your grace is real,

Let the ocean wash my sorrow,

Till Your love is all I feel—

Like Jonah, I’ll surrender,

In Your will I’ll find my way,

Lord, if it takes the whale to save me,

Then let it swallow me today.

⸻

(Outro)

Yeah… let it swallow me today…

If that’s what it takes…

To bring me back to grace.
