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.

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?”

When I am weak, You are my shoulders.
When I’m poor, You give me a hand.
When I can’t swim, You are my lifeboat.
You carry me to dry land.

When I can’t see, You are my maker,
Speaking words that keep me aware.
When I can’t swim, You are a lifeboat.
When I’m tired and weary, You are there.
