The Story Behind the Song
As an addict living in recovery, sometimes my mindset is like, “Help me, Lord. I have messed this up again!” When you’re doing everything you can, burning the candle at both ends, and things are STILL not working…just listen to this song & you’ll know where my help needs to come from.
“I Need Saving Again” by Randall Everitt
It seems that I keep running into a little bit higher wall,
than the one I found in my path, the last time that I called.
I guess I think that the only time to turn to You for help,
is when I’m down and when I’m out, and I can’t do it myself.
Oh, Lord, don’t fail me now,
I’ve got my feet to the fire and my hand to the plow.
Only You can see me through the mess I’m in.
Oh, Lord, I need saving again!
It’s You I think to run to, each time that I get down.
But when things go right, my first thought is to go out on the town,
to celebrate and appreciate the great job that I’ve done.
But when I get into trouble again, it’s to you I’m gonna run.
Oh, Lord, don’t fail me now,
I’ve got my feet to the fire and my hand to the plow.
Only You can see me through the mess I’m in.
Oh, Lord, I need saving again!
Instead of wanting my own way, I should let You lead.
And I should learn to count on You for everything I need.
This time I’ll try to keep hangin’ on, and not to turn away.
But now and then, I’m gonna call again, and this is what I’ll say…
Oh, Lord, don’t fail me now,
I’ve got my feet to the fire and my hand to the plow.
Only You can see me through the mess I’m in.
Oh, Lord, I need saving!
Oh, Lord, don’t fail me now,
I’ve got my feet to the fire and my hand to the plow.
Only You can see me through the mess I’m in.
Oh, Lord, I need saving again!
