Jesus Christ, My Rescuer

Hostage to my thoughts,
Prisoner to my mind,
Imagination running wild,
Nightmares are all I find.

Heart beating faster,
Eyes sliding shut, tears escaping,
Mouth growing dry,
No words in the making.

Minutes go by so slowly,
Hours feel like days,
Starving for something
More than these wordly ways.

All I feel in this trap
Is bitterness and cold,
No hand reaching out,
No one to hold.

Then I look up,
And find you right there,
You reach for me,
Someone does care.

By replacing my fear,
You give me perfect peace,
You give me total understanding,
Instead of just a piece.

Thank you dear Rescuer
For showing me the way,
And paying the price (my price),
On that fateful day.
