Rescue me
Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes its hard to keep the smile upon my face
It seems like I try so hard and still I let you down
Its taken so long but now there's one thing that I've found
When everything starts crashing down
When all I know falls to the ground
When darkness comes and I can't see
Just when I think that I've got it figured out
You open my eyes and let me see that there's no doubt
But you've got it all within the power of your hand
It seems like the more I know the less I understand
When everything starts crashing down
When all I know falls to the ground
When darkness comes and I can't see
You're always there to rescue me
When all my strength has turned to fear
When I wonder if you're near
When I don't know how to break free
You're always there to rescue me
I wonder if Ill make it through this darkest night
I need to know your strength in me gonna win this fight
I'm reaching out wont you take my hand show me to the light
I know you're by my side
It seems like I try so hard and still I let you down
Its taken so long but now there's one thing that I've found
When everything starts crashing down
When all I know falls to the ground
When darkness comes and I can't see
You're always there to rescue me
When all my strength has turned to fear
When I wonder if you're near
When I don't know how to break free
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me
You're always there to rescue me
