V1.
When I am scared, You are my Father.
When I can't breathe, You are the air.
When I can't swim, You are a lifeboat.
When I'm tired and weary, You are there.
CHORUS:
And my times get high, my times get low.
You always let me in on all that You know.
I could give You time alone and then,
You'd only come and ask me, "Where have you been?"
V2.
When I am weak, You are my shoulders.
When I'm poor, You give me a hand.
And when I can't swim, You are a lifeboat.
You carry me to dry land.
CHORUS:
And my times get high, my times get low.
You always let me in on all that You know.
I could give You time alone and then,
You'd only come and ask me, "Where have you been?"
V3.
When I'm not sure, You are my maker,
Speaking words that keep me aware.
And when I can't swim, You are a lifeboat.
When I'm tired and weary, You are there.
CHORUS:
And my times get high, my times get low.
You always let me in on all that You know.
I could give You time alone and then,
You'd only come and ask me, "Where have you been?"
