One of my favorite songs at the moment is one from the wonderful dubby, older school drum and bass acts, Smith & Mighty, called Rescue Me Pt.II (listen). Everytime I listen I can't help but think of the words in a religious context, and in the same way my heart is constantly drawn out to the Lord. I think the words are very relevant for a fossil, an artifact, of a believer, and the great desire and passion that is this life, that is this struggle, and that is this faith in greater things than our weak hands can clench sometimes, and somewhere I find myself very often, asking please.

"Rescue me, help me

Wont you reach for me, hold me

Lead the way for me, show me

How to love



Rescue me, help me

Wont you reach for me, hold me

Lead the way for me, show me

How to love



Much to learn, now I've lost my love

Teach me how to forgive

When all seems lost for us

Patience means nothing

I've lost that virtue now

I've no reasons left in this world

To haste for now



Rescue me, help me

Wont you reach for me, hold me

Lead the way for me, show me

How to love



Develop me, from this waste that I am

Only flesh with no meaning, each breath without feeling

Each heartbeat a lie

Draw from me, what little goodness is left

And mould it to a form, that fits your purpose best



Rescue me, help me

Wont you reach for me, hold me

Lead the way for me, show me

How to love



Rescue me, help me

Wont you reach for me, hold me

Lead the way for me, show me

How to love



Much to learn, now I've lost my love

Teach me how to forgive

When all has been lost for us

Surely you know and you only may care

That a love that is lost, has made me its heir

In limbo waltz I, in sorrow I lie

Only flesh with no meaning, each breath without feeling

Each heartbeat a lie



Rescue me, help me

Wont you reach for me, hold me

Lead the way for me, show me

How to love



Rescue me, help me

Wont you reach for me, hold me

Lead the way for me, show me

How to love



Lead the way, help me, hold me, show me

How to love, take me, teach me

I've so much to learn, how to love"
