V1 “Goodbye,” in a message she wrote,
then she tucked it in a bottle just to watch it float out to sea, would feel good to jump in for a bit,
and never quit sinking ‘til she felt like it.
But she knows she wouldn’t kick to the surface for air
‘til her daddy stopped acting like she wasn’t even there,
‘til her mommy came back from wherever she was, ‘til her little boy’s daddy is finally someone to trust
C: I need a Savior now! Everything’s crashing down! Nothing is good at all! Nothing is good at all! When everything’s crashing down, everything’s burning round, I need a Savior now! I need a Savior now!!
V2 Good man, at least he strives to be,
the kind of man that you respect and like immediately.
He’s got so much potential in his qualities,
his will is iron and copper, straight ferocity.
But the tongue’s been a fire passed down by his daddy from his daddy like a curse that leaves the family
in tragedy,
total rage followed by remorse and contrition,
my heart breaks, the son takes daddy’s human condition.
Larceny and greed, sexual addicts that need another fix another body, drug addict - another shot
we get it hard, get it fast, get it anyway but last
take advantage of the weak and use them until they bleed.
I’m a wreck dear God, searching for an answer, when all my loved ones are gone, did you hear my prayers? Is there grace for me,
honestly I’ve stopped believing and yet I feel the need, so desperately...
V3 I don’t know how to pray very well, but dear Jesus, please hear these words.
I’d like to say sorry for the things that I’ve done
and haven’t done
but I’m excited for the things that will come,
‘cause up ‘til now I’ve been so terrible at trusting you and giving thanks to you,
in the hardest times of my youth.
But I’ve been reading every day about you sending your son
and about his heart for the broken, about his heart for the ones that said
I’m through with the world if it’s not a reflection of you and I can’t make it alone, I need to be loved by you!
I need to be held by you! I need to be changed by you! I need a savior on a cross that says, “I’ll die for you!” For final unity of everything in heaven and on earth,
to make the saddest heart alive, so aware of its worth.
God I’m bitter at the past but your hands can heal,
God I’m drowning in my grief but your power is real.
This is my prayer…I need a Savior!

I’m a Christian music evangelist. My music does not fall into the “worship” genre, although I hope that each song I write
inspires you to know Christ! The songs on “I Need A Savior Now” discuss wonderful, maddening, passionate love; absolutely crushing heartbreak; depression; war; the Second Coming; sexual temptation and broken families; meaning and purpose; and Christ’s love for us....more
