Walking on a tightrope, I got no one to stand with.
I'm so alone God, Oh won't you keep me from falling.
No one here to save me, I'm alone and I'm falling
Into deep darkness. Lord save me from this darkness!
I cannot do this, I haven't the strength.
Alone I am powerless, without you I am nothing!
Yeah I need to you to stand with, need you to walk with,
Lord I need you to save me, save me from this darkness!
I know you are with me, and that you'll save me.
And so I'm will stand with you by my side.
'Cause I know you will catch me when I stumble and fall
And I know you will save me, save me from this darkness!
I waited for the Lord
(Inspired by Psalm 40)
I waited for the Lord and he heard my cry
He pulled me from the pit, out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock,
He made my footsteps strong and firm.
He taught me to sing a new song for him,
A song of praise I offer to my God.
Many who see this will take the warning,
They will put their trust in the Lord.
Don't hold back your compassion for me,
Your loyal love will protect my soul.
My troubles gang up like a mob against me.
So swamped with guilt I could hardly see!
Make haste O Lord to rescue me
From those who want to destroy my soul.
Make them be appalled by their shame,
Let us your loved ones praise your name!
