Adeleke Adeite Poet Lyric

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!

Sena Slaughter June 28, 2010 at 4:39 PM This is a beautiful lyrical cry to the Lord! I know He hears all prayers, and I'm so glad He never leaves us when we need him so much! Even when it feels like He isn't there, He really is!

Rinki Nandy June 28, 2010 at 3:26 PM a plea to rescue, i think we all need it, all of us. nice and aptly penned, thank you for your comment on "talent's talent" but i didn't actually understand the situation "featured poem" did someone feature it? or is it something which happens automatically to all the poets on the website?
