Sometimes it feels like you're swimming, swimming through a sea of pain
you feel you want to run, you're scared you'll come undone, can you relax again? How can you bear the strain?

Sometimes it seems the light is dimming, dimming and you're left behind
How do you keep up courage and not close your mind? Is it a kind of faith or just that love is blind?

Reach out, embrace it, let the pain flow through
Remember I am with you, in everything you do
Relax and trust in Love to dissolve the pain
You can grow in my love, and find new life again
If you keep swimming through the sea of pain

Though you can feel like you're living, living other people's pain
That may not be your own, and no, you're not alone and yet it feels the same under another name
The secret key may lie in giving, giving freely everything
Love is an endless well that somehow conquers hell, look past the pain and sin, to God who lives within

Reach out, embrace it, let the pain flow through
Remember I am with you, in everything you do
Relax and trust, stay here, don't try to hide
You can open your heart, with the Spirit as your guide
If you keep swimming, I'll be by your side

You're swimming, come on, keep swimming, through the sea of pain
You're swimming, relax, keep swimming, through the sea of pain
Take up your cross and keep swimming
Embace your loss and keep swimming

Let go and trust the way I've taught you
My love will keep you from harm
Let yourself float and I'll support you
Lie back, relax in my arms

We all can grow when we're living, living in a loving way
It seems that love may be somehow a kind of key, defenses melt away, you know the words to say

Reach out, embrace it, let the pain flow through
Remember I am with you, in everything you do
Relax and trust in Love to dissolve the pain
You can swim on with me, it will never be in vain
If you keep swimming you will grow again

You're swimming, come on, keep swimming, through the sea of pain
You're swimming, relax, keep swimming, through the sea of pain
You're swimming, you can keep swimming, through the sea
Swim to me, trust and know the main thing's to keep swimming


Matthew 28:20

Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

cf: Matthew 1:1-8, Psalm 51:10, Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 1:6
