A worship song that moves from personal struggle—sin, shame, fear, grief—to trust in Christ's intercession when the speaker cannot pray. It ends with an eschatological vision of healing and the risen Lamb wiping away tears.
Chapters
to calm me down. I will call on him who calms the raging seas, trusting he'll be stronger than the storms in me. When my journey takes me to the great unknown, you are my salvation. When I've lost myself and fallen to my sin, when my shame blinds me to all the grace you give, when I place my trust in lies that I've believed and I wonder how my God could still love me, Christ is interceding when I cannot pray. Your groaning words are heard, that I may still be saved. My lament for sin now turns to songs of praise. You are my salvation. When the night surrounds me and my fears begin, when the grief is threatening to kill me. When the pain is crushing and I can't escape, and the strength I had is slowly drained away, even in death's shadow on the darkest night, there is not one breath that you have not supplied. Give me faith, My Lord, that with the sun I'll rise. You are my salvation. When the dawn breaks through and we are truly healed, when we climb the stairs to what will be revealed, when our days are lighted by the risen Lamb and our tears are wiped away by God's own hands, when creation's birth is finally made complete when all guests are seated at the Savior's feast. What a day of gladness when we join this Song. You are my salvation. You are my salvation. You are my salvation.
