Continue to Save us, O' God

Again, we have the opportunity to be able to see prayers through the art of music. This time I have picked the song Saving Me from Nickelback. Let it be known that this is not a time of picking a part a song and trying to give psychological diagnosis to what it is they are singing about. Rather, it is a practice that we can begin to hear prayers through music and maybe even, use them in our own prayer lives.

So I invite you to listen to these words. Listen to the emotion that is put behind them. A man longing for direction and the one to lead him to make him a better man. We recognize that all we need is Him. That we often times find ourselves, in desperate situations, longing for his words, his touch & his love. Falling away, we realize that it is through His grace can we be rescued and put back on track. It is while we are leaning close to His heart, can we learn what is wrong and right, making us into people of our words, letting our yes's be yes's and our no's be no's and doing the work of goodness in His name.

Teach us O' God the creator. Do what you will so that we can hear your voice. Provide us the opportunities to redeem ourselves. Indeed we are your children, broken and tired, often times brought on by ourselves, we too have broken wings, we see you O' God. We see you reaching out to us and we ask, "Continue to rescue and save us, for it is you and only you that we need. Show uswhat is right!" Teach us to be like you, loving and serving those around us with love, say it to us so that we may learn. Say it to us because your words are words that save and change and we can change this life to honor you. Say it to us O'God if it will help us to save our lives, which requires us to lose them for the sake of your Kingdom. Hear our prayer O' Merciful God!
