Maker of the sun and shade
 The plans were made before the morning
 At a time when no one knew
 He left a clue and sent us a lifeline... It's fine

 Then along came a man like me
 With everything laid out before him
 Then it all came crashing down
 A man can drown from thoughts in his own mind

 Like something deep inside my soul
 Was sinking fast; I was the hole
 When I was almost out of time

 He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
 He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold

 Suffering was nothing new
 My days were few without a let down
 Something down there deep inside
 Dissatisfied with everything I'd find

 And in the clouds he sent the sky
 Into a desert running dry
 He sent a river full of life

 He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
 He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
 He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
 He gave me a lifeline right up from the grave

 He sent me a lifeline when I was on my own
 Far from the borders he came brought me home
 He sent me a lifeline when I was down the hole
 My world was like an ocean raging out of control

 Send me a lifeline
 Send me a lifeline

 Once upon another time
 He made my mind a different color
 Painted on my destiny away between
 The black and lonely sky... Let's fly!

 He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
 He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
 He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
 He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today

 He gave me a lifeline
 He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today
 He gave me a lifeline
 Jesus is my lifeline
