I could so easily say no
There I wouldn't dare go
But I'm so quickly enticed
Inside this demented mind
That I jump right in the flow
Then as I'm standing on the shore of my sin
Waves of guilt come crashing in
How many times in my life
Must I fight this tide
Hating myself for the way that I swim
Thank God that I have a life guard
That meets you at the point where you are
Whether drowning in sin
Or just wading in
Never being to deep nor to far
But as I flounder and flail
I must help myself out as well
By grabbing a hold of His line
And then sharing in kind
With others that are drowning themselves
Then try and watch where I swim
Staying out of the waters of sin
Where I so often find
They're no more than cesspools in life
Where in Christ there's no need to contend
