[VERSE 1]
Now Cmoses led the Fchildren of Israel, from Gpharaoh and his Cmen
it Glooked like they would surely die, and Ffear fell over Cthem
but CGod said unto FMoses, cast your Grod out on the Csea
the Gwaters parted back for them, he'll Fdo the same for Cme
[CHORUS] 
I'm Cwading through deep Fwaters, Gtrying to get Chome
the Gwaves of sin they dash so high, someFtimes I think I'm Cgone
but Cwhen I think that I'm Fgonna sink, I Ghold my hand up Chigh
that Ggreat big hand of God comes down and Ftakes a hold of Cmine
[VERSE 2]
As Cpeter went to Fmeet the lord Gwalking on the Csea 
he Glooked around and saw the waves, and Fhe began to Csink
he Ccried oh Lord please Fsave me, as Ghe began to Csink
the GLord reached out his hand to him, just Flike he did for Cme
[CHORUS] 
I'm Cwading through deep Fwaters, Gtrying to get Chome
the Gwaves of sin they dash so high, someFtimes I think I'm Cgone
but Cwhen I think that I'm Fgonna sink, I Ghold my hand up Chigh
that Ggreat big hand of God comes down and Ftakes a hold of Cmine
