1 verse:  
I’ve gotta keep the calm before the storm
I don’t want less, I don’t want more
Must bar the windows and the doors
To keep me safe to keep me warm

2 verse:  
Yeah my life is what I’m fighting for
Can’t part the sea can’t reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won’t let this pull me overboard

Chorus:  
God keep my head above water
Don’t let me drown It gets harder
I’ll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees

Don’t let me drown, 
Don’t let me drown

3 verse:  
So pull me up from down below
‘Cause I’m underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now I need you most

Keep my head above water above water

Bridge:  
And I can’t see in the stormy weather
I can’t seem to keep it all together
And I can’t swim the ocean like this forever
And I can’t breathe
