Sinking - Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay

Lyrics
It's not my problem anymore
You see it never really was
So you can stop 'caring' as you call it
And I'll be fine right here

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
So I don't need you, I don't think I need you

But you see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
That you are forever healing

You can't hear what I'm not saying
And I can hold out long enough
Treading water I keep from sinking
'Cause I'm not one for reaching

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
So I don't need you, I don't think I need you

But you see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
That you are forever healing

Deny myself, deny my heart
Deny your hand, deny your help
And you offer me eternity
But why should I buy that?

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
So I don't need you, I don't think I need you

But you see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
That you are forever healing

You see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
That you are forever healing

💡 Song Meaning & Background

This song explores the feeling of being overwhelmed by the world and the desperate need for Jesus to reach down and save. It mirrors the biblical account of Peter walking on the water in Matthew 14, crying out 'Lord, save me!' as he began to sink.
