Description

Lyrics-
 I am at the lowest I have ever been;
I have nothing, Lord!
I am drowning in the quicksand of the tempter's lies;
I have nothing, Lord! 

I lift up my soul to You, when all I feel is pain.
Oh Lord, I cry out to You, "Come and rescue me!"
Teach me Truth that I might live and glorify Your Name.
Oh Lord, I cry out to You, "Come and rescue me!"
I know You are good!
You are alone, and there is none like You!
"Come and rescue me!"
When I cry out to You, You will rescue me.

When my hope is fading, I reach out to You;
You will answer me.
Oh, You abound with mercy for those who cry Your Name;
You will answer me.

I lift up my soul to You, when all I feel is pain.
Oh Lord, I cry out to You, "Come and rescue me!"
Teach me Truth that I might live and glorify Your Name.
Oh Lord, I cry out to You, "Come and rescue me!"
I know You are good!
You are alone, and there is none like You!
"Come and rescue me!"
When I cry out to You, You will rescue me.
