chorus:
rescue me - from this body of death
rescue me - for as long as there’s breath
I will praise you Lord, and lift up my hands
rescue me!
rescue me - from these wages of sin
rescue me - let the healing begin
I will praise you Lord, and lift up my hands
rescue me!

verse 1:
In the night, surrounded by fears
the enemy comes without warning
but He is faithful - I know He is near
and His joy always comes in the morning

verse 2:
His ways unerring, His promises true
His right hand is strong to save me
He lifts me and sets me safe on the heights
I will call on the one who forgave me

verse 3:
when the grave is a tightening cord
wrapping its coils around me
in my distress I call out to the Lord
and His comfort is there to surround me
