Rescue Me

Father God, are You with me tonight?  
I feel so lonely.
Father God, are You listening tonight?  
My prayers seem empty.
But I am down on my knees.

Rescue me when the sun won't shine
And I can't stop the time that steals away and leaves me.
Comfort me when my soul is so sore.
All I have is Yours, but I need Your light to shine on me.

Father God, are You speaking tonight?
I listen for You.
Father God, are You reaching tonight?
I reach up for You.
And I am down on my knees.

Rescue me when the sun won't shine
And I can't stop the time that steals away and leaves me.
Comfort me when my soul is so sore.
All I have is Yours, but I need Your light to shine on me.
Rescue me when the sun won't shine
And I'm losing my mind and I cry out, "God please hold me!"
Comfort me when my soul is so sore.
And I don't know what it's for, but I need Your light to shine on me.
