Rescue Me

Verse 1

Be Thou gracious to me, Father, hear my humble plea

Sin is crouching at my door and waiting there for me

I am weary with my crying, tears that ever flow

Let the bones which You have broken

mend and heal and grow

Chorus

Heal me, with Your hand of mercy, Father

Cleanse me, with the precious blood

Shield me, I am safe in Your wings

When You rescue me

Verse 2

Every night my bed would swim with tears of mounting grief

Habits of old were my friend refusing me relief

Rather let me put away all that which never soothes

And replace it with Your Word, my nourishment, my food

Bridge

Rescue me, my Father, from the dark of night

I am in Your favor through the blood of Christ

Sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you.

Gen. 4:7b

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am pining away;

Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed.

Psalm 6:2

“Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me;

O Lord, be my helper.”

Psalm 30:10
