Save me, O God

For the floodwaters are up to my neck

Deeper and deeper, I sink into the mire

Can’t find a foothold to stand on

I am in deep water

And the floods overwhelm me

The floods overwhelm

Overwhelm

(x2)

Despair grips me

As I struggle

To escape – escape the empty

Suffocate – suffer my soul

Hopeless and helpless

I’m drowning in a cesspool

IN A CESSPOOL

Lord God, set me free

Can’t find a foothold to stand on

I am in deep water

Suffocate – suffer my soul

Father set me free, redeem, and deliver me

(x2)

The floodwaters – up to my neck

Deeper and deeper – sinking into the mire

Suffocate – suffer my soul

Hopeless and helpless

I’m drowning in a cesspool

IN A CESSPOOL

Despair grips me

As I struggle

To escape – escape the empty

Despair grips me

As I struggle

In this cesspool

Lord God, set me free
