Intro: Am G Am Gsus G Verse I F G(add4) Am Cmaj7 Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in Your sea of forgetfulness. F G(add4) Am Cmaj7 The chains of yesterday sur- round me; I yearn for peace and rest. F G(add4) Am Cmaj7 I don't want to end up where You found me, and it echoes in my mind, 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.
