God of the Deep
Kaitlyn Conley 1989 (United States)
I want to lay down this burdensome load
I want to break free, not be caught in the flow
Riptide’s pulling me farther from home
Im shackled from my head down sinking below
My soul’s getting tired of fighting to breathe
My chest ain’t rising I'm a slave to the sea
Trauma in my head acting like it owns me
Fighting this war but I’m out of my league
Im clinging to the Anchor
The God of the Deep
No leaving it to fate
I just gotta believe
Raise me to a new height
I’ll sing you a melody
You got that Resurrection I need
God of the deep
Staring at the mountains here in the valley
Took a back road, led my faith to this rally
Edge of the water still ain’t where I want to be
Shackles are loosened, I’m crawling out slowly
Twisting and turning, evil is lurking
Fiercer the fight the more lessons I’m learning
Won’t let it break me nothing can shake me
The devil can try but he will not claim me
Im clinging to the Anchor
The God of the Deep
No leaving it to fate
I just gotta believe
Raise me to a new height
I’ll sing you a melody
You got that Resurrection I need
God of the deep
