I am frozen, paralyzed
not knowing where to turn
staring at the demons
awake in my dreams, shouting;
I am drowning in my own thoughts.
Lord, do you see me?
I am drowning, I am frozen;
I am standing on sinking sand.
Lord, reach down,
I beseech Thee;
Lord, lift me, hold me
place me on dry land.
I am parched, I am broken,
I am drowning in my own thoughts.
Heal me, mend me,
put me to Your work.
