| Lyrics: | I fell off my raft I’m flailing my arms Nothing to cling to Just doing more harm No rescue boats Are in this Dead Sea Only my Savior Can truly save me…have mercy I’m drowning not waving so lend me your hand I can’t walk on water I’m mere mortal man Help me to shore cause I now understand The footprints are yours that I see in the sand Lord, I know my soul is worth saving I’m drowning not waving I’ll bathe in your love Dance in the rain Soak in your warmth Renew my faith Waves wash me clean As I swim toward your light Cleansing my wrongs Please make them all right…have mercy I’m drowning not waving so lend me your hand I can’t walk on water I’m mere mortal man Help me to shore cause I now understand The footprints are yours that I see in the sand Lord, I know my soul is worth saving I’m drowning not waving I blocked out the sun And your hope that shines Yet when I fail me You’re there every time I’m drowning not waving so lend me your hand I can’t walk on water I’m mere mortal man Help me to shore cause I changed who I am I’ll praise your name as I kneel in the sand Now, I know my soul is worth saving I’m drowning not waving I’m drowning not waving (3x) |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
