The Survivor · letra

I have heard the slander of many Terror on every side While they council together against me A scheme to take away my life
I am small, concealed in this darkness Yearning to see the light, but I may never Because of the heartless attempt To take away my life
Am I safe? The water around me Is changing. Is it allright? I am burning. Oh what are they doing? They want to take away my life
But as for me, I trust in Thee Oh, Lord, my times are in Your hands You are my God, deliver me From the solution that they have planned I'm condemned, completely unwanted I struggle to stay inside Oh, my dear mother, your future is haunted If they succeed and take away my life
I'm cut off, exposed in this cold room
For love and warmth I strive, will you discard me Throw away or starve me And slowly drain away my life
But as for me, I trust in Thee Oh, Lord, my times are in Your hands You are my God, deliver me From the solution that they have planned
Desperate hands reach out to embrace me And steal away in the night A gentle voice is speaking assuringly No one will take away your life
Now I am one apart from the millions Fortunate to survive And though I bear on my body these old wounds They didn't take away my life But as for me, I trust in Thee Oh, Lord, my times are in Your hands You are my God, deliver me From the solution that they have planned
