as i stand here alone
the earth falling away
i begin to panic and fret
where will, how will i
stand with nothing beneath me
the last bit of ground
crumbles beneath
i throw my arms wide
and surrender to you
O Lord, you sustain me
when all has been swept away

like a lone tree i stand
while the storm gathers around
the wind, wild, wicked
lightening flashes
closer and closer
Hail pours down
crushing everything in its path
i throw my arms wide
and surrender to you
O Lord, you sustain me
when all around is chaos

floating alone
in craft rapidly sinking
the waves gather force
threatening and sinister
pushed by the unseen hand of the tide
sharks, barracuda, jellyfish, and worms
wait below
slowly i stand, unsteady
i throw my arms wide
and surrender to you
O Lord, you sustain me
when all threatens to rip me apart

You, o merciful God
my rock
my refuge
my strong tower
You O Lord,
You sustain me
You sustain me
