Save Me (Peter’s Song)

Recorded with Richard Talbot in his incredible studio!

Lyrics and main melody originated from Ian Calk:

It's four a.m., on a ship and sailing the windy coast,
The light is dim, then I see a figure walking close,
Is it him, is it him or am I seeing ghosts?
Is it him, is it him, the man I love the most; so then I say

Bid me come unto thee, Lord bid me come out,
Let me come walk with thee, wet my feet upon the sea,
Tell me what's happening and help me not to doubt,
Now that I'm on the sea, I'm sinking deep and calling thee to save me,
And when I fell you still forgave me,
And in my weakest you still prayed for me,
Help me be the man you made me,

The night is come, we eat supper at his tableside,
And then he says, there is a traitor here underneath our eyes,
Tell me please, tell me, tell me master is it I?
Is it me? Surely I would never let you die,
But now I think, how could I fall asleep leaving you alone?
Still you went willingly down into gethsemane,
Heavy and so amazed, filled with love unknown,
Drinking the cup for me, you would weep and you would bleed to save me,
I denied and you forgave me,
And in my weakness you still prayed for me,
Help me be the man you made me,

Look at me, I’m trying to find my way after all this time,
I’m counting sheep, I should be the 99 but I’m still the 1,
Could it be, could it be my work is not quite done,
Could it be, could it be the best news that has come,

So now I say, open the empty tomb, roll away the stone,
Still in my memory lives that day in Galilee,
I saw his battle wounds, felt his flesh and bones,
And with his victory, he now lives to set me free and save me,
Through it all He still forgave me,
Saved a sin bound soul from slavery,
Helped me be the man you made me,

Oh won’t you save me!
