words by Wayne Kirkpatrick

music by Michael W. Smith and William Owsley, III

Sittin' in the rain

Water on your brain

Got a hole in your boat

Trying to stay afloat

Has got you down

I've got a wind in my sail

Rubber boots and a pail

I'll throw you a line

Rest assured that I

Won't ever let you drown

(CHORUS)

'Cause when you're up against the wall



You know I'll be here for you, for you

When you rise and when you fall

I'll always be here for you, for you

When the plans you make

Fall thru' and take you

For a loop

Or some bird has flown the coop

And left you stranded

Just lean on me

And together, you see

We'll carry the load

Even if we don't

Quite understand it

Tom
