Water

The water is rising,
I can barely keep afloat.
How much longer can I keep up
this pretense of everything seeming fine

The water is still rising
its starting to cover my head
there's only so much time
before I lose all ability
to keep myself afloat.

The water is still rising
my head is covered now
very few realize
the struggle I'm currently
struggling through.

The water is still rising
Rescue is close at hand
I know I'll be cared for
no matter the current struggle
cause He is always there for me

The water is still rising
I know He's heard my plead
How else could I have made it through
this struggle in my life
without His hand guiding me.
