Rescue

“I will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night...

 I will never stop marchin’ to reach you in the middle of the hardest fight...

I hear you whisper underneath your breath. I hear you whisper you have nothing left... 

It’s true, I will rescue you...” 

I haven’t had many words. I’m exhausted, and the emotions are intense and erupting because of it.  

I don’t even know what to say anymore. To ask for. To beg for. So sometimes I just don’t say anything. Or I just sit. My mind can’t at times even articulate all that is within. But I guess you know what’s in there anyway...and I don’t have to say a thing after all.  

I’ve felt powerless and empty. I’ve felt tired and lonely. I’ve felt sad and over it. Over all of it.  I wish there was peace and a calmness. I wish life was easier. 

My anger is still such an issue. At my last confession, I was counseled to let you be angry for me.  I was reminded of Exodus 14:14,  “The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.” 

But can I be honest?  Sometimes I don’t feel you are fighting hard enough. Yes, “I know the battle has already been won..” But what about the daily battles?  The inner struggles?  The “war raging within?”  Where is your army to fight off the demons? 

I just feel so weak, in spite of my efforts, small as they may be. At least there’s effort.

Tonight you remind of these lyrics, and you help me to pray them. Is it possible that this could be what you really have for me?  

So while I have no words, I will let you have your’s, and I will let these lyrics be your words for me tonight.  Because...every single word...from beginning to end...from the birth of my story, and my past, to my losses, and to now and even onward.

You have seen me.  You do fight. Will I let you rescue? 

“You are not hidden

There's never been a moment
You were forgotten
You are not hopeless
Though you have been broken
Your innocence stolen

I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS

I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It's true, I will rescue you

There is no distance
That cannot be covered
Over and over
You're not defenseless
I'll be your shelter
I'll be your armor

I hear you whisper underneath your breath
I hear your SOS, your SOS

I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It's true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It's true, I will rescue you

I hear the whisper underneath your breath
I hear you whisper, you have nothing left

I will send out an army to find you
In the middle of the darkest night
It's true, I will rescue you
I will never stop marching to reach you
In the middle of the hardest fight
It's true, I will rescue you

Oh, I will rescue you”
