When I am scared, You are my Father.

When I can't breathe, You are the air.

When I can't swim, You are a lifeboat.

When I'm tired and weary, You are there.



And my times get high, my times get low,

You always let me in on all that You know.

I could give You time alone and then

You'd only come and ask me, “Where have you been?”



When I am weak, You are my shoulders.

When I'm poor, You give me a hand.

When I can't swim, You are my lifeboat.

You carry me to dry land.



When I'm not sure, You are my maker,

Speaking words that keep me aware.

When I can't swim, You are a lifeboat.

When I'm tired and weary, You are there.
