Hurry_My_Child

You are sinking in the quicksand
Of the error of your ways
You feel powerless to stop it
You're sinking deeper every day

You know you must get out
Or you will surely die
But you just can't pull out
No matter how hard you try

You consider calling for help
But think that would be unfair
Because it is your own fault
That you are there

You knew it would be a mistake
To walk willingly into the sand
But you didn't realize how quickly
It would pull you off solid ground

You just keep sinking deeper
As you struggle to get out on your own
But you only have to look up to see
That you are not alone

From Heaven, God sees you struggle
With tears falling from His eyes
He says "Look up for I am here"
I don't want you to die

Hurry my child, before it's too late
For the quicksand of sin is swift
And soon you will be buried beyond reach
Unable to accept my gift

As you hear the gentle voice
You look upward and you see
Gods hand reaching down to you
And wonder how this can be

Tears come to your eyes as you say
God you just don't understand
This is not the first time
I have walked into the quicksand

I wandered away from the path
And somehow I got lost
And stepped into the quagmire of sin
And now I must pay the cost

God answers "It is you who does not understand"
The cost has already been paid
I love you so, my life for yours
I did willingly trade

There's no need for you to suffer
For my mercy is so great
That forgiveness can be yours
Please hurry before it's too late

Don't let youself sink any further
Just ask and I'll take your hand
And I will pull you safely up
Out of the deadly sand
