Oh won't you come down and save me!
Place your warmth over me and shelter me.
I am freezing down to my pea coat.
I heard no laughter, no acceptance! No
battle is too great, just make it through
the night I thought, hanging adrift with a
silk red tie, just make it through the
night and I will defeat my demons!

I am down in the belly of the trenches,
prepared to go to war with you everyday.
I prayed in the darkness of my hour. I
am down on my knees, reciting a little
prayer and it felt as if I was at home. I
opened my eyes wide but stayed put
in the altar of your grace. I bowed to the
king of kings, but have I?

Yes. I'd thought of hanging myself with a
silk red tie. Is the thought always there, yes!
I swore never to carry out with it though!
Will there be someone there to guide me home?
My soul will not be ****** and I will
rise above to you oh Lord. I won't be locked
out of Heaven. Never ever have I felt such
love and serenity. Do you feel that?
