Waves

(album: The Maverick Way Complete - 2023)

I've been alone, I've been afraid
Been embarrassed, been ashamed
I've been defeated, been betrayed
It comes in waves
I've been excluded, cast aside
Let somebody steal my pride
Been blinded by things I hate
It comes in waves, come on

But I know these waves
Will crash over me
But I'll have faith
The tide won't take me
And even when the water's rising
You'll help me swim to shore
I know these waves are rough
But you've never let me drown before

I've been wounded, crushed by fear
Hate even looking in the mirror
Felt insecure from what they say
It comes in waves
I've lost myself and lost my soul
Trying to make myself feel whole
Been enemies with my own brain
It comes in waves

But I know these waves
Will crash over me
But I'll have faith
The tide won't take me
And even when the water's rising
You'll help me swim to shore
I know these waves are rough
But you've never let me drown before

In my darkest day, I will trust in You
Through my hurt and shame, You will see me through
You love me the same, so I'll sing Your praise
Even when I've lost my way, yeah
Even when I've lost my way

I know these waves
Will crash over me
But I'll have faith
The tide won't take me
And even when the water's rising
You'll help me swim to shore
I know these waves are rough

Waves, I know these waves
But I'll have faith, but I'll have faith
Tide won't take me
Even when the water's rising
You'll help me swim to shore
I know these waves are rough, yeah, yeah

You've never let me drown
Even when my world is upside down
Come on, sing it with us right here, you've never let me
You've never let me drown
Even when my world is upside down
You'll never, You'll never, You'll never let me drown, oh, no
You've never let me drown
I've been with You
Even when my world is upside down
You've always been with me, no, You'll never let me drown, oh

You've never let me drown
You've always been by my side
Even when my world is upside down
Come on, one last time

You'll never let me drown
You've never let me drown
Come on, sing it out right there
Even when my world is upside down
You always come through, God, yeah
You've never let me drown
You always come through. Yes, You do
Even when my world is upside down

But I know these waves
Will crash over me
But I'll have faith
The tide won't take me
And even when the water's rising
You'll help me swim to shore
I know these waves are rough
But you've never let me drown before
