I've been stuck in a bad dream
And I just can't shake it off
A storm is brewing inside me
And I've never felt so lost
Like a ship on the water miles from the shore
I'm just fighting for survival
I need You, shine a light out on the dark night of my soul
I need You, throw out a lifeline
'Cause I'm sinking like a stone
When waves of fear have me surrounded
You're the hope that leads me home like a light on the coast
Just the power of Your voice can calm the raging sea
God, it looks like I'm going overboard
Will You come and rescue me?
I need You, shine a light out on the dark night of my soul
I need You, throw out a lifeline
'Cause I'm sinking like a stone
When waves of fear have me surrounded
You're the hope that leads me home like a light on the coast
I'm sounding the alarm, my sails are all torn, I need You, I need You, I need You
My strength is all gone, I'm barely hanging on, there's no one else to call
I need You, shine a light out on the dark night of my soul
I need You, throw out a lifeline 'cause I'm sinking like a stone
Waves of fear have me surrounded
You're the hope that leads me home like a light on the coast
Like a light on the coast
You're the light on the coast
