Rescue Me Please | Spirit and I

The Story

There are moments in life when the pressure becomes too much to bear, and our strength completely runs out. In those dark valleys, trying to put on a brave face or pray a perfectly polished prayer feels impossible. Rescue Me Please! is a song born out of that absolute raw vulnerability. It is a desperate, unfiltered cry for help when you feel like you are drowning in anxiety, grief, or overwhelming circumstances. This song validates the reality that it is okay not to be okay. It reminds us that God does not demand perfection or performance when we are broken; He simply asks for our honesty. It points listeners to the comforting truth that the moment we cry out in our weakness, the Savior is already moving to rescue us.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning to the same old taste Looking in the mirror at the same old waste Swore on my life that I was finally clean But my dark shadow knows what I mean I drew a line in the sand, I locked up the door But the devil in my bloodstream always wants a little more [Pre-Chorus] I’m fighting a war that I’m losing inside I'm sick of the secrets, I'm sick of the pride Every good intention just crumbles to dust I'm a prisoner locked in the chains of my trust [Chorus] Why do I do the very thing that I hate? Why do I always take the bait on the plate? I want to be free, but I carry this weight God, why do I do the very thing that I hate? I’m sinking down deep in the belly of the beast Somebody rescue me, please [Verse 2] Willpower is a joke, it’s a castle of sand It slips right through the fingers of a trembling hand I’ve read the red letters, I know what they say But the gravity pulls me the opposite way I've given up trying to muscle through the pain I'm just a dry riverbed begging for the rain [Pre-Chorus] I’m fighting a war that I’m losing inside I'm sick of the secrets, I'm sick of the pride Every good intention just crumbles to dust I'm a prisoner locked in the chains of my trust [Chorus] Why do I do the very thing that I hate? Why do I always take the bait on the plate? I want to be free, but I carry this weight God, why do I do the very thing that I hate? I’m sinking down deep in the belly of the beast Somebody rescue me, please [Bridge] I've hit the bottom, I'm waving the flag Tearing up the plans in my medicine bag My strength is all gone, it’s a staggering loss So I’m dragging this brokenness up to the cross Your grace is enough when my power is gone Hold onto me, Lord, through the dark to the dawn [Chorus] Why do I do the very thing that I hate? Why do I always take the bait on the plate? I want to be free, but I carry this weight God, why do I do the very thing that I hate? I’m sinking down deep in the belly of the beast But Your grace is the only release [Outro] I can't do it alone I'm throwing down the stone You have to carry me home
