Rescue Me – A cry for help

I wrote this song during a time in life where it seemed like I was surrounded by pain.  Somewhat in my own life with unemployment and stress within our family, but especially within the life of Paul, my pastor.  Paul was diagnosed with cancer and our hearts broke for him and his family.

This song is a prayer – a cry out for help.  As I thought about Paul’s situation, it seemed there was nothing left to do but pray.  This song was an intercessory prayer for Paul to be rescued.  Sometimes life seems so overwhelming – so painful.  We can try to set ourselves free, but so often fail.  I am often left wondering, ‘how did I get here?’.  Yet as the last line of the song says, we can be sure that God is with us through it all.  You can find the lyrics to “Rescue Me” here.

Paul is now healed.  Praise God!  Check out Pastor Paul’s Testimony and his continued journey with God here.

God is so far beyond our understanding – we can never understand why he chooses to rescue some, and not others.  As confusing and as painful as this can be, we praise God through it all.  Often, if not always, we get the opportunity to look back on painful situations and see how God has been glorified through them.  We serve an incredible God who walks beside us through every situation.  Surrendering ourselves to Him is the greatest thing we can do…whatever you are going through, be sure that He is with you.  Watch and see how God will use you and your situation for the Kingdom!
