Is this it then:

Going through so many changes,
What's the news for today?
Somebody's hurt, somebody's aching
Somebody's trying to find away
Heavy heart can break your will
A troubled soul leaves times standing still
So if you're hurting please don't hide
Lift up your head I'm on your side

Chorus:
When every mountain seems too high
When every river looks too wide
When my dreams are lost at sea
Jesus rescues me
Though my faith is strong it caries me
Though sometimes weak I still believe
My life is built on this desire
Through the flood and through the fire
Jesus rescues me

I know you're looking for an answer
Searching for some hope to hold
Those empty hands will leave you waiting
And praying for a miracle, Jesus hears your every cry
He sees the walls you can't climb
He will heal your hurting soul and lead you safely to His Home

the course is right but the verses are different it starts with somtething like a heavy heart can break your will its wrote by Greg and Rebecca Sparks

On the stormy sea of sin I was sinking
Never to rise again
The wind and the rains 'round me crashing
Had battered and torn me within

But He rescued me, Jesus rescued me
From the cold dark waters of sin's troubled sea
He rescued me, new life I can see
Jesus reached down in love
And He rescued me.

I could feel death's arm around me
As I struggled for my life
I could see his angel waiting to claim me for his prize
In my hour of desperation I almost lost my mind
But somehow I cried to Jesus
And He saved me just in time.

when he reached down his hand he rescued me
