Lyrics

::VERSE 1::
I've got a house with a lean-to.
a port in the storm when I mean too,
deep in my soul that I cling too.
A place i can hide when i need to..

I'm so Lost in the land of the Costly
mistakes cost me much more than I wanted to pay,
I keep juggling and hustling to handle 'em and muscle 'em
but I've been here much longer than I wanted to stay
Mud stuck and it's my fault - I fell over the asphalt
failed to answer that time You called , my self esteem is pretty small
next to a cliff thats really steep, I found a hole that really deep
I dug it myself and I keep on digging pretending I'm living the life that I dreamed
but in this land of chaos, I have found that peaceful is King,
somedays I have pulled it off and other days the pauper is me
but there You go coming round again - dust me off, picking up my chin
lifting me out of the puddle I made forgiving my feet for the places they've been

::CHORUS::
you keep on holding me up
just above my problems
and before I give up
you save me again

It seems the waves are pounding and Im drowning within
but you keep on holding me up, holding me up again...

::VERSE 2::

I been shipwrecked and beaten
thrown scattered to the wolves and quote-unquote eaten,
just a piece of meat fileted, drawn and quartered & seasoned
no reason I should be here, but i really felt invited
inticed by the wine and fine dining
The fine china primed cauldron that I fell in and can't swim,
where's my snorkle and fins? soon to be the end,
if I can't grab the rim, then him, with one of my limbs,
I'll be sitting at the bottom rotting from drowning in sin
so maybe I LOST OUT, picked one path
for so long that the other path just washed out
is it too late to re-rout? so give me a shout out if you love God
but fell short, missed the mark so many times
that you Gave up and lost count
BUT His word said He who started a good work is faithful,
I'll build my house on that rock 'cause the the sand is too unstable
sin is a prerequisite for grace without it i can't be forgiven
living reconciled to Christ and He said "It is finished!"

::CHORUS::
you keep on holding me up
just above my problems
and before I give up
you save me again.

It seems the waves are pounding and Im drowning within
but you keep on holding me up, holding me up again...

::VERSE 3::

He who calls on the name of the lord he shall be saved
Don't be afraid after the winds raise, it don't matter he calmed the waves
His power is proven, miracles doin', no problems no mountains too huge he can't move them
price paid, hands raised, laid on the lame; away fades the pain
we strain to be free from these chains - enslaved to misbehave
Quit distractin, Bring back the facts of what happened in Acts - Read the Page!
tongues spillin', fillin' me up - I'm done stumblin runnin' my race
You holdin me up, I'm savin face by Your grace

Ive got a house with a lean too.
a port in the storm when I mean too,
deep in my soul that I cling too.
A place i can hide when i need to..

::CHORUS::
you keep on holding me up
just above my problems
and before I give up
you save me again.

It seems the waves are pounding and Im drowning within
but you keep on holding me up, holding me up again
