Rescue Me

Rescue Me
By Allen R. Alderman

I feel myself withdrawing,
Walling myself away.
No one left to turn to,
Nothing more to say.

The flood is all around me.
Who will hear my plea?
The fear will quickly drown me.
Who will rescue me?

In times like these I need you,
Creator of all things.
Save me from the darkness,
And make my spirit sing.

Who but You will listen?
Who else can understand?
Draw me close and hold me
Safe within Your hands.

Tear down the walls around me.
Draw me from my shell.
Lift me from the darkness,
And save me from myself.
