Rescue Me Lord

 

I want to avoid sin, but often I fail.

I try to reject Satan and his temptations.

But in my weakness I sometimes succumb.

Rescue me Lord.

 

Too often I serve self rather than You.

In my selfishness I sin against You.

I long to resist the evil, but still I am weak.

I need the strength only You can give..

 

Yet, even in my weakness, You love me.

You comfort me in my sorrow.

You forgive my sins.

Even when I stray Your love remains.

 

The battles continue, the fight goes on.

Let me fight with you by my side.

Give me the strength to overcome.

In Your mercy, rescue me Lord.

 

Amen
