How did You find me, how did You know
I'd be here in this hole in the ground
I can't even see out, over the edge
Lookin' up from all the way down
I thought I had been left here to die
When I saw your face appear
What a surprise
How did You find me here
I thought I could do it, all of it
All by myself
I thought I could win every round
Then I hit rock bottom, the blues, I got 'em
And You lifted me out of my fear
And how did You find me?
Play it, my man, play it
I thought I could do it, all of it
All by myself
I thought I could win every round
Then I hit rock bottom and the blues, I got 'em
You lifted me out of my fear
But how did You find me?
Then I hit rock bottom and the blues, I got 'em
And You lifted me out of the fear
But how did You find me?
Thank you, Lord
