I Need Your Rescue

Oh, I am drowning
In the sea of sin,
I cannot save myself;
Oh Lord I need your rescue!
Oh, I am drooping
From the mount of mercy,
I cannot lift myself;
O lord I need your rescue!
   Give me a helping hand
   In this sinking sand
   Take me to a lovely land
O lord I need your rescue!

Oh I am dying, 
In sickness and sorrow
I cannot heal myself,
O lord I need your rescue!
Oh, I am dosing,
In weariness and woe,
I cannot wake myself;
O lord I need your rescue!
   Save me from my sin
   Both without and within
   Make me cute and clean
O lord I need your rescue!

Oh, I am declining 
In value and virtue
I cannot raise myself
O lord I need your rescue!
Oh, I am decreasing
In strength and in health
I cannot fix myself
O lord I need your rescue!
   I need your grace today
  Show me your way
   Keep me lord I pray
O lord I need your rescue!
