' Save Us, Lord Jesus ' Poem by Carmela Patterson

Lord, God, your children are calling;
Our brothers and sisters are falling.
The weight of the world crushes;
Tide water rushes and gushes.

Save us, Lord Jesus.

Save us from perilous waters ~
We, your sons and daughters
Fall to our knees - help us, please;
Hear our passionate pleas.

Save us, Lord Jesus.

Come to our aid, O dear Lord
You are forevermore adored;
We place our faith and trust in you ~
Upon our hearts your Love imbue.

Save us, Lord Jesus.

Immerse us in your saving grace ~
Help us to always keep the pace
With your will, teaching us the skill
To be true to your tenets,
Reaping benefits,
O Wholy Holy Lord!

Save us, Lord Jesus.
