Lyrics
1.I listen every night to the rescue service radio
Calls are coming in, every hour, every day.
But lately I've been hearing calls for the same rescue team.
Seems everybody's asking for a father and his son.
2.Last night I heard the story of a woman who was burning.
Flames upon her body, even though she tried to run.
But she herself had set the fire with an arson's life of alcohol.
Nobody could save her but the Father and His Son.
CHORUS
I cried to the Father, I cried to the Son.
Rescue the world we know, come to us as one.
Save us now forever, save us for eternity.
Come to us this very hour, oh Father and Son.
3.Then I heard another story of a man and of the wife he loved.
Trapped up on a mountain, almost buried alive.
By an avalanche of greed and power, prosperity was killing them.
The only one to set them free was the Father and His Son.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Nothing is too difficult for Jesus and the Holy Father
Give me any story and I'll tell you it is so
For even if you've reached the end
The Lord lets you begin again
Mercy and forgiveness are His Everlasting Way
And when the Lord has rescued you
Give Him all in gratitude
He has been your Savior
You must never let Him go...
CHORUS
I cried to the Father,
I cried to the Son.
Rescue the world we know, come to us as one.
Save us now forever, save us for eternity.
Come to us this very hour, oh Father and Son.
Come now the Father, come now the Son.
Rescue the world we know, come to us as one.
Save us now forever, save us for eternity.
Praise and glory be to you, the Father and the Son.
