You Rescued Me

This song by Jake Tidmore is about animal rescue. He's provided WorshipWeb with sheet music in the key of F and the key of E flat.

I was kicked out and abandoned
On a road from nowhere lost and alone
I felt unwanted, my spirit fading
How much longer could I keep going on?
When I suffered such abuse
My trust so broken and misused
It was you reaching for me
It was you who set me free

CHORUS:
You rescued me, giving love from your heart
You rescued me out of my sorrow
You rescued me, healed my body and spirit
You rescued me; gave me hope for tomorrow

Sometimes shadows come and haunt me
Bringing fear and terror straight to my soul
I need to find you and feel your presence
And together we can hold back the pain
Now I know that I need you
No one else's love will do
It is you lifting me up
I feel safe because of you

CHORUS

CODA:
And maybe someday... I'll rescue you

In a church pew, a woman hugs and nuzzles a happy-looking dog
