Just when
My defeat looked
Certain
Underneath a burden
Sunk down
Jail-bound
Surrounded on
All sides
High and dry at
Low tide
Ambushed at the
Roadside
Tongue-tied
Cried out
I thought
I had nothing
Nothing without you

CHORUS: You came to my rescue, I’m alive

Buried
Mustard seed in
Darkness
Too far down for
Harvest
Years to reach the surface
Breakthrough into
Sunlight
Straight and tall and
Upright
First among the
Forest
More than what was promised
promised
I had nothing, nothing without you
