1. God, God, save me!I’m in over my head,
2. Quicksand under me, swamp water over me;I’m going down for the third time.
3. I’m hoarse from calling for help,Bleary-eyed from searching the sky for God.
4. I’ve got more enemies than hairs on my head;Sneaks and liars are out to knife me in the back.What I never stoleMust I now give back?
5. God, you know every sin I’ve committed;My life’s a wide-open book before you.
6. Don’t let those who look to you in hopeBe discouraged by what happens to me,Dear Lord! God of the armies!Don’t let those out looking for youCome to a dead end by following me—Please, dear God of Israel!
