Of course. Here is a poem woven with scripture, a cry for help and a testament to faith in God's saving power.

Save Me, Lord
My heart is a tempest, a turbulent sea, The waves of my worry keep crashing on me. The shadows grow longer,the night draws its veil, Against this fierce storm,my own strength must fail.
"Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck." (Psalm 69:1)
I cry out from the depths of my fear and my doubt, A whisper,a scream—Lord, You hear every shout. You number the hairs,You collect every tear, Be near to me now,for I know You are near.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)
I stand on the promise Your mercy will show, Though I walk through this valley,Your rod guides me through. You are my refuge,my fortress, my shield, The only sure truth to which my soul can cling.
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)
So, pull me from waters too deep for my stand, Place my feet on the Rock,hold me fast with Your hand. Renew my weak spirit,restore my soul's sight, Be the dawn breaking through my most desperate night.
"He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." (Psalm 40:2)
For You are the anchor my soul will not lose, The God of all comfort,the hope I can choose. I trust in Your name,in Your unfailing grace, Until I behold You,dear Lord, face to face.
"The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." (Proverbs 18:10)
Amen.
