Rescue me Jesus


Rescue me Jesus

Rescue me Jesus
From the brokenness
From the hopelessness I feel
I feel black and crushed inside
Full of shame and guilt
And feelings I can’t describe
I don’t know where to go and
I don’t know what to do
So I cry out to you
Rescue me Jesus

You are my only hope
But I feel so far from you
I don’t know how to get back
I’ve tried many times to avoid this road
But it seems I always end up back here
Always lost, always broken, always unfixable
And I know you are the answer
And I know I can make it through today
But what about tomorrow?
The bleakness is unending and uncaring
And I don’t want to face it
So please You are my only hope

Hold me up Jesus
As I cannot stand on my own
Hold me and don’t let me go
For I need you
I need you to love me
To fill me up
To make me whole
And I can’t make it through today
Not without you
For you are my only hope
And I know you will rescue me
