Deliver Me (Etheree)

Oh
one day
I fell in
a muddy pit.
How did I get there?
Did someone push me in?
I just don’t understand this.
It must be my imagination.
Can someone explain this dream to me?
Oh no this can’t be happening to me!

Oh God please deliver me from this pit.
I’m crying from the depth of my soul.
Lord it’s dark and dreary down here.
I need your strength and guidance.
I need a helping hand.
Oh God I thank you
for hearing me
I’m coming 
out with
praise!
