Rescue Me

O Lord, rescue me from the this fiery pit.
destroy the enemy of my soul.
bring clarity to my mind.
If rescue circumvents knowing you better,
leave me here.
You alone know how much I can bear.
I commit my spirit into your hands.
But I need your peace, I need your joy.
Overcome my melancholy.
Overrule my emotions.
Let me trust in your unfailing kindness.
Let me rest in arms of mercy.
Let your grace wash over me
like the oil of anointing.
Above all else,
I want to know you.

In the midst of turmoil and chaos,
I will worship you.
I will sing your praise.
I will walk with you.
My Savior, Defender, and Friend.
