You once held me
Swayed me to and fro
Comforted me to sleep
And promised never to let go

Here I am disheartened & broken
Those comforting days have past
As if you had never embraced me
I feel as if I always come last

Cradle me, Oh God
Hold me in your arms once more
Save me from myself
I can’t do this anymore

I’m falling backwards
Returning to my old ways
I don’t know what to do
Only with your help I keep it at bay

It is unbearably hard to resist
My strength is fading with time
The past haunts and tempts me
This mountain, alone, I can’t climb

Cradle me, Oh God
Hold me as you did before
Rescue me from myself
I can’t go on anymore
