Here I   am, Lord, and I'm      drowning in Your        sea of forgetfulness.
F               G(add4)        Am             Cmaj7

F       G(add4)        F
keeps   me awake to-    night.

I know You've cast my sin as far as the East is from the West,
and I stand before You now as though I've never sinned.
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away 
from You leaving me this way.
