I was drowning, I was drowning in an ocean of sin I was sinking beyond the hope of ever rising again But then you reached down, way down in the deep where I was You stood me up, and there I stood surprised to be loved Oh you make me so complete You lift me up From the inside out, the outside in I have been saved I have been saved I have been saved It seemed hopeless treading water in a pointless fight Out of the darkness I was rescued by the brightest light Now that you got me, father, please hold on tight And don't ever let go, I don't ever want to go back to my old life Oh you make me so complete You lift me up From the inside out, the outside in I have been saved I have been saved I have been saved I have been saved You are my lifeline You saved me from myself You have made me new I was drowning, I was drowning in an ocean of sin I was sinking beyond the hope of ever rising again
