A Saving Prayer - excerpt from an in the works poetry collection.

Save a troubled child, O God.
For the waters have risen,
and I sink deeper into the murky river
where there is no foothold.
Save a troubled child, O God.
I tire from calling,
my eyes grow weary from seeking,
and my need is desperate.
Save a troubled child, O God.
For the waters have risen,
don’t let me drown, O God,
Save a troubled child, O God.
O God, hear my cry.
Your love redeems all.
Save me O God,
turn to me and set me free.
O God, hear my cry,
comfort me,
rescue me and keep me safe.
Save a troubled child, O God.
