The Rescue

In darkness I was standing

There was a hole in the ground

One step the wrong way

And down I would have fallen

Your hand reached out to me

Dark though it was

Blind I was not

Your hand I did see – and caught

You got me out of the miry clay

And led me back to dry ground

You fought my corner with the enemy

And got my story told

You rescued me from despair

And taught me there was hope

You led me to the eternal thought

That glory lies ahead

The battles are now and glory after

But hope we must never forget

And trust we always must do

As times will change when the light shines anew

My corner was fought again

This time a much bigger rock

Was needed to overcome

And twice this was done

But you conquered the rock

And rolled it away

So I could continue my walk

Down a non bumpy road

My thanks go out to you

And without your kindness

I would not be here

As drowning I would be

But you rescued me, caught my hand

And brought me back to dry land

I am truly grateful to you

And in my heart you will always be
