Succor In Salvation

Here I sat under the shadow of tears, 
fainting under the fountains of fears,
until the lamb of God came for me, 
on the cross, he cried to set me free.

Hell hunts to hurt my haughty heart,
sins & stains stripped my soul apart,
until I came to the cross of Christ,
and He saved me from my terrible thirst. 
Amen...

I enjoyed your alliteration in the first line of the second stanza, and I enjoyed the subject: that of liberated existence and the ensuing angst. Keep it up.
