[NEW VERSON]: re-recorded to be more audible and crisp! This is a fantastic driven kind of song with resolve that has a wonderful message. I loved singing it last year at a music night!

Jenny loves to sing alone and at church, she sometimes sings in public but gets nervous. She has been trained at a music school called Jaanz but has not been attending since the start of 2005 due to a recent move overseas. She is, essentially a singer, but loves writing lyrics, and hopes one day, when she knows how to compose melodies, she can write full songs that can be called her own :)

Story behind the song
A song about realising the world around you is swallowing you up, and you are drowining it its burdens. However, God's saving grace, power, and love is there to pull you out. He is always there. He is our lifeline... He is definitely mine. Thank You Brooke Fraser for writing this song and singing it so beautifully (much better than me! Although your version did inspire me to try!) :)
Lyrics
I have this sinking feeling Something's weighing me down I am completely saturated The waves are crashing closer My feet already drowned Doing the thing I said I hated They've been swimming in the wrong waters Now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'Cos I know that you'll lift me out Have your way here Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you Take this ocean of pain that is mine Throw me a lifeline Wake up feeling convicted I know something's not right Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet I have to get this out 'Cos it's obstructing you and I Dry up the seas that keep us parted 'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out Have your way here Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you Take this ocean of pain that is mine Throw me a lifeline They've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'Cos I know, 'cos I know That you'll have your way here Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you Take this ocean of pain that is mine? x2 Throw me a lifeline
