Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
  E  Am
Day one, drifting out at sea
D                    E
No sign of land, no sign of hope for me
E             Am
Rocking to and fro by the waves of complacency
D                  E
I'm just so tired of fighting to breathe
D   E     Am
 Day two or day six, day twenty, day fifty
    D                  E
They're all the same, nothing changes for me
E

When will I ever be rescued?
Am
When will I ever be free?
  D               E
Oh, God, someone hear me, someone, please, yeah

Verse 2:
E
But wait, oh, but wait, there's a man
     Am
Walking above all of this that surrounds me
  D                   E
He takes my hand, takes my heart, rips me free
    Am       D       E
Rips me free, rips me free, rips me free

Chorus:
E     D   G A   E    D G A
How can I ever repay You, mister?
  E     D     G  A    E   D G A
For setting my desperate soul on dry land
  E       D    G A    E   D G A
For sending those storms away with a whisper
  E     D   G   A    E  D G A
For taking all of my burdens in Your hands

In Your hands, in Your hands

Instrumental:

Verse 3:
  E Am
Today things have most certainly changed
D                   E
All of my pain for all God's hope exchanged
E
When will I ever be rescued?
Am
That was my desperate plea
  D              E
And God, You heard me and set me free

Chorus:
E     D   G A   E    D G A
How can I ever repay You, mister?

For setting my desperate soul on dry land
  E       D    G A     E  D G A
For sending those storms away with a whisper
  E     D   G   A    E  D G A
For taking all of my burdens in Your hands
    E D G A
In Your hands, in Your hands

For sending those storms away with a whisper
  D
For taking all of my burdens
D                  E
