Headwater Music

Lyrics

I have finally got my head above the water
But they're still drowning in the depths below
I'm here treading on the surface, wondering
Are they going to come up for air, are they going to join me?
Or should I swim for the shore?

I'm staying in the light, staying in the light
Even when the water's all I'll ever know
They won't see what I see, feel what I feel
But His grace keeps me afloat when I let go

I can see there is no shoreline in the distance
Just endless grey horizon, cold and wide
But I feel a hand beneath me when I'm sinking
A strength that's not my own keeps me alive

I'm staying in the light, staying in the light
Even when the water's all I'll ever know
They won't see what I see, feel what I feel
But His grace keeps me afloat when I let go

I threw them lifelines, showed them the way up
But I can't save someone, only He can hold
There's no shore to swim to, but I won't give up
His joy is my strength when the water's cold

I'm holding to the light, holding to the light
My arms may tire but His never do
They may never see what I see, feel what I feel
But He gives me hope enough to make it through

I finally got my head above the water
And He's teaching me to float, not just survive
In the waiting, in the treading, I find purpose
His peace is the reason I'm still alive
