Save Me!

Hanging at the end of my rope

As the knot at the end unravels

I stretch out a hand...

Save me!

Pull me up

Before the abyss

Swallows me

I can't hold on any longer

I need to let go and

Turn my salvation over to you

You reach out

But I'm afraid to grab hold

How can I put my trust

In someone I don't know

Hanging by a thread

I no longer have the strength

To continue hanging on

I need you to...

Save me!

Pull me up

Before the abyss

Swallows me

I can't hold on any longer

I need to let go and

Turn my salvation over to you

Losing my grip

I finally reach out

You swoop me up

And make me yours

I wrote this shortly before becoming a Christian. Actually the final lines were written some time after the rest. When I originally wrote it, I couldn't decide on how it would all end. I was struggling with my path and hadn't made up my mind to follow Christ. Honestly, I still struggle to reach out and trust, but that's part of the journey. I know that all the "sad" songs will someday become worship songs as I break free of the past and move to the future. :-)
