To be rescued.


You are the source of the life
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of you

I need You Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else can I go
There's no other name by
Which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow you

This world has nothing for me
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I will follow You

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


To be rescued by Almighty God. To be captured by His grace. Clutched in His hand. Given His very breath as He breathes it into You.

To get to the point where you know that you have no where else to go. To know that earth has nothing you desire besides God, as David wrote. To come to the point of complete surrender, where you consider everything nothing in light of God's glory.

Oh how God desires this for us. He wants to rescue us...but we have to be in a position to be rescued. He wants to capture us...but He can't capture us if we are being captured by another. He wants to hold our hand...but He can't hold our hand if our hands are full of our own possessions and dreams and desires. He wants to breathe into us...but He can't if we aren't willing to empty out our lungs to give Him room.

How much more could God do if we just came to a point where we truly understood the need we really have for Jesus. The overwhelming need that can never be fulfilled by anything the world has to offer us. The need to be rescued, captured, and secure in His embrace.
