Save me, Lord.

 Save Me, Lord

A Cry from the Depths

Save me, Lord—the waters rise,

The flood of trouble fills my eyes.

I sink in deep and treacherous mire,

My strength is gone, my hope is dire.

Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. (Psalm 69:1-2)

Save me, Lord—I cannot save myself.

My righteousness is but a shelf

Of broken deeds and empty pride.

In You, and You alone, I hide.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)

You are my rock, my fortress strong,

The refuge where I flee from wrong.

Do not delay, O Lord, I pray,

Come quickly—take this fear away.

Be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. (Psalm 31:2)

Save me, Lord—not just from the deep,

But from the promises I could not keep.

Save me from myself, my wayward will,

And let Your Spirit me fulfill.

The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)

For in Your name is all my hope,

Your grace alone can help me cope.

I lift my eyes to You above—

Save me, Lord, with Your unfailing love.

Amen.
