I am hard pressed on every side but I’m not crushed
I feel pulled to pieces but inside I know I’m not
Feels like the world’s caving in, find it hard to breathe
The water is rising, won’t you come and rescue me.
I’m on my knees.
O God please come to me
I fall into Your loving arms
You wrap me up, and I’m secure
Patiently You whisper to me You have a plan
To hold on it won’t be long and you understand
You know my every need. You won’t abandon me
Sick inside again today, I’m struggling to pray
And my head is spinning, cause I cannot see the way
I’m in need of direction, everything seems so unclear
O my God are you out there, or is this falling on deaf ears?
I’m on my knees
O God please come to me
Miracles, You will do, as I come and put my hope in You
