Undertow
by Dave Pettigrew

Album: Faith and Gasoline

The water's dark the water's deep
The water's crashing over me
My cries are washed up on the beach
And no one hears a sound
I take a breath
I breathe you in
I take a step but can't begin
'cause I'm still caught in this headwind

Verse 2
This ship has run aground
I'm getting caught in the undertow
Getting pulled down by the waves
Take my hand now
And pull me close

Chorus
I'm going down today
I'm getting caught in the undertow
The darkness pulling at my feet
But you are here right now
I know
And you're not letting go

Verse 3
A flicker of light a flicker of hope
A star that shines from a distant coast
And through the fog he looks like a ghost
But he calms the storms in me
I walk on water
I walk through fear
My faith is strong when it appears
But there's no room for doubting here
In the midst of these high seas

Chorus
I'm getting caught in the undertow
Getting pulled down by the waves
Take my hand now and pull me close
I'm going down today
The darkness pulling at my feet
But you are here right now
I know
And you're not letting go

Refrain
You're not letting go
You're not letting go

Verse 4
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
I'm fighting through the fears and doubt
I lift my hands
I lift my heart
I'm drowning in your grace
Your love is washing over me
I'm finally home
I'm finally free

Verse 5
I'm searching up
You're searching down
I'm drowning in your grace
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
I'm fighting through the fear and doubt
I lift my hands
I lift my heart
I'm drowning in your grace

Verse 6
Your love is washing over me
I'm finally home
I'm finally free
I'm searching up
You're searching down
I'm drowning in your grace

Chorus
I'm getting caught in the undertow
Getting pulled down by the waves
Take my hand now and pull me close
I'm going down today
I'm getting caught in the undertow
The darkness pulling at my feet
But you are here right now, I know
And you are not letting go

I'm getting caught in the undertow
Getting pulled down by the waves
Take my hand now and pull me close
I'm going down today
I'm getting caught in the undertow
The darkness pulling at my feet
But you are here right now, I know
And you are not letting go

Refrain
You're not letting go
You're not letting go
