Save me

Save me

So now it is almost done
O Lord
Save me,
Save me

I sit before the setting sun
O Lord
Save me,
Save me

O I tried in my way
To be a good man
But I made so many, many
Mistakes
I often failed to honour you
The way I could have
I just didn’t always have
What it takes

The time has nearly come
O Lord
Save me,
Save me

The two becomes the one
O Lord
Save me,
Save me

I guess I always asked
What you could do for me
But I didn’t really ask
What I could do for you
And now as I kneel before
This prayer stone
All that remains
Is what is really true

Save our souls
Save us all
I commend myself to Thee
O Lord in your mercy
Save me

I loved, I lost, I left, I was left
O Lord
Save me,
Save me

Naked at birth, in death undressed
O Lord
Save me,
Save me

I saw the bloody ravages
Of lying
Yes, I witnessed the murder
Of the truth
But I know now how you protected me
From worse things
Like an eye-for-an-eye
And a tooth-for-a-tooth

Save our souls
Save us all
I commend myself to Thee
O Lord in your mercy
Save me

I felt the sun on my face
So many glorious times
We are all but wild flowers
In your garden
When I was a child
I was a sapling in the breeze
And now that I’m older
My tree has hardened

Save our souls
Save us all
I commend myself to Thee
O Lord in your mercy
Save me
