Verse 2:


The waters rise above my head
It's a churning flood
Make me feel like givin' in
or even wish that I was dead
But then you pull me out
And you lift me up to a higher place
to a refuge of hope, sheltered in your embrace


Chorus


Refrain
Gm????????????????????????? Cmaj7
When storms arrive and vile tempests blow
Gm?????????????????????????? Cmaj7
There's only one safe harbor that I know
Gm?????????????????????????????? Cmaj7
You calm the storm, you calm the raging sea
Gm?????????????????????????? Cmaj7???? Bbsus4
And you will never turn your love from me


Chorus
