Verse   Drifting out in the darkness, just a prisoner on life's sea   Death was like a sinking vessel anchored deep inside of me   Hopelessness weighed upon me, I was weak from the fight   Feeling like I'd go under for the very last time      Chorus   Then in a moment Jesus found me and threw out a lifeline   Alone in deep waters, till He came just in time   Though the waves tried to take me, Jesus sought me and saved me   Blessed hope became mine, when He threw out a lifeline      Verse   Though I still may face the tempest, often face the raging wave   They will never overtake me, Jesus guards me with His grace   I will rest within His safety, I will stay close to His side   Ever clinging to the lifeline, holding on for dear life
