BYU Vocal Point - Rescue Me Lyrics
Lyrics
This waking nightmare lingers
When will the mirror stop telling lies
I don't know where I've been
Or where I'm going
But I can't do it alone
I'm reaching out
Chorus
Rescue me
Show me who I am
Cause I can't believe
This is how the story ends
Fight for me
If it's not to late
Help me breath again
No this can't be how the story ends
I'm locked up and waiting for you
I've lost so much more then I'll ever know
Love has the truth forgotten
Find me now
Before I lose it all
I'm crying out
Chorus
Rescue me
Show me who I am
Cause I can't believe
This is how the story ends
Fight for me
If it's not to late
Help me breath again
No this can't be how the story ends
Haa-haa-haa-haa-haaa x6
Chorus
Rescue me
Show me who I am
Cause I can't believe(I can't believe)
This is how the story ends
Fight for me
If it's not to late(not to late)
Help me breath again
No this can't be how the story ends

You Raise Me Up | BYU Vocal Point (Josh Groban A Cappella Cover)
Meaning & Inspiration
BYU Vocal Point's rendition of "You Raise Me Up," released on August 14, 2018, transcends a mere cover; it’s a profound testament to the uplifting power found in faith and divine strength. While the original song speaks to human support, Vocal Point imbues it with a distinctly spiritual resonance, transforming it into an anthem of reliance on God. The narrative arc of the song beautifully mirrors the journey of spiritual growth, beginning with feelings of personal inadequacy and weariness, much like the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 19, who, after a great victory, felt overwhelmed and desired to die. Yet, in his despair, an angel came and strengthened him, a subtle echo of the divine assistance this song celebrates. The group’s powerful arrangement amplifies the message of being lifted beyond one's natural capacity, finding resilience not from earthly sources, but from a higher power. This resonates deeply with passages like Isaiah 40:31, which promises that those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, mounting up with wings like eagles, running and not being weary, walking and not being faint. The song captures this very essence of supernatural empowerment. It speaks to the experience of being carried through trials, a sentiment echoed in Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Vocal Point’s performance articulates this unwavering assurance, presenting a sonic landscape where vulnerability meets divine fortitude. It’s a reminder that in our moments of greatest weakness, when we feel unable to go on, there is a source of strength that can elevate us, enabling us to face any challenge with renewed hope and purpose. This interpretation transforms a familiar melody into a spiritual declaration of trust and dependence on the enduring love and strength of God, encouraging listeners to recognize and lean into that divine support in their own lives.
