O I've been desperate
Cried those loud prayers
Like Job on his knees
Sayin' Lord I need more than a little help
I've been surrounded
Felt fear on all sides
Like Daniel and the lions
I know when I fight I don't fight by myself
When I needed rescue
Jesus, You came through
Oh, in my hardest season
Your promise held true
Every time I've given in, Lord You prove it again
That You're still my Savior now
Jesus, You came through
When I needed rescue
It's just in your nature
To step in and save
Because of you Jesus
When I've been defeated
I know you'll pull me outta my grave
When I needed rescue
Jesus, You came through
Oh, in my hardest season
Your promise held true
Every time I've given in, Lord You prove it again
That You're still my Savior now
Jesus, You came through
When I needed rescue
You are peace within disaster
You are calm inside the storm
I have seen you move and I believe
You will do what you did before
You are peace within disaster
You are calm inside the storm
I have seen you move and
I believe you will do what you did before
When I needed rescue
Jesus, You came through
Oh, in my hardest season
Your promise held true
Every time I've given in, Lord You prove it again
That You're still my Savior now
Jesus, You came through
When I needed rescue
"Rescue" by Jordan St. Cyr is a powerful and uplifting song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever felt desperate or in need of a Savior. The lyrics are filled with hope and assurance, reminding us that Jesus is always there to come to our rescue.
The song opens with the lines, "O I've been desperate, Cried those loud prayers, Like Job on his knees, Sayin' Lord I need more than a little help." These words immediately resonate with anyone who has experienced times of hardship and uncertainty, where all we can do is cry out to God for help. It brings to mind the story of Job, who faced unimaginable suffering and yet remained faithful to God, continually seeking His rescue and deliverance.
As the song continues, it draws parallels to other biblical stories of God's intervention and rescue. The line, "Like Daniel and the lions, I know when I fight I don't fight by myself," reminds us of Daniel's faith in the face of persecution and his deliverance from the lions' den. It is a powerful reminder that when we are in the midst of our own battles, we are not alone. Just as God rescued Daniel, He will come to our aid as well.
The chorus of the song declares, "When I needed rescue, Jesus, You came through, Oh, in my hardest season, Your promise held true." These words echo the promises found throughout Scripture, such as Isaiah 41:10 which says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." It is a reminder that even in our darkest times, God's promises remain steadfast and true. He is our rescuer, our deliverer, and our source of strength.
The bridge of the song proclaims, "You are peace within disaster, You are calm inside the storm, I have seen you move and I believe, You will do what you did before." These words bring to mind the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-41. In the midst of chaos and fear, Jesus spoke peace to the storm and brought calmness to His disciples. It is a reminder that no matter how overwhelming our circumstances may seem, Jesus has the power to bring peace and calmness into our lives.

Through its lyrics, Jordan St. Cyr beautifully captures the essence of God's rescue and deliverance throughout Scripture and reminds us that He is always there to come to our aid. It is a song that brings hope, comfort, and encouragement to anyone who listens, reminding us that we are never alone in our struggles and that God is always ready to come to our rescue.
