onto dry land – v2

Lord, I cry out,
I am drying
out in the world
buffeted by the waves

drowning, thrashing
in the deep waters
Lord, see me, reach down
place me onto dry land.

hold me, shape me
purge my fears within me
show me a way
through my desert of cares.

Lord, I need you
to heal me, my struggles
they mount up
I need your touch
