May I come before your throne?
Will you leave me here alone?
Or would you hear my heartfelt plea:
Lord, please come and rescue me?
Those that dare to curse your name
Have no sense at all of shame.
But I, who come to call on you
Simply beg you see me through.
No chance at all have I to say
What I wanted to today,
For I've no chance at all to prove
That 'tis you I truly love.
Be not far from me, your child,
An adult now for awhile
Who seeks so much to change and grow;
Follow you where'er you go.
Relentlessly I seek your face,
Hoping I'm not far from grace.
Set your struggling daughter free:
Lord, please come and rescue me.
