Lyrics
Verse 1
O my Father
Who art in heaven
Holy is Your name
I am a wanderer
Seeking Your presence
I wish to know Your grace
Pre Chorus
In the name of Jesus
I call out, I call out Your name
In the name of Jesus
I sing Your praise
Chorus
Holy Father in Heaven
Hear these words I pray
I’m so tired of wandering
I need You to save me
I call out, I call out in faith
I call out, I’m reaching my hands
Father, I don’t want to wander anymore
Verse 2
In my darkness
In my struggle
I need your guiding hand
Pulling me upward
Lifting me higher
Finding my breath again
Pre Chorus
In the name of Jesus
I call out, I call out Your name
In the name of Jesus
I sing Your praise
Chorus
Holy Father in Heaven
Hear these words I pray
I’m so tired of wandering
I need You to save me
I call out, I call out in faith
I call out, I’m reaching my hands
Father, I don’t want to wander anymore

You, You gave me a way
The source of all my strength
I am saved through Jesus
The spark, a glimmer in the dark
Though I’ve journeyed far
I am saved through Jesus
You, You gave me a way
The source of all my strength
I am saved through Jesus
The spark, a glimmer in the dark
Though I’ve journeyed far
I am saved through Jesus
You, You gave me a way
The source of all my strength
I am saved through Jesus
The spark, a glimmer in the dark
Though I’ve journeyed far
I am saved through Jesus
You, You gave me a way
The source of all my strength
I am saved through Jesus
The spark, a glimmer in the dark
Though I’ve journeyed far
I am saved through Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Strive to Be’s “Saved Through Jesus” opens with a direct echo of the Lord’s Prayer, grounding the song in an intimate address to the Father. The repeated admission of wandering—being tired, reaching out in faith—paints a picture of spiritual exhaustion and dependence on divine rescue. The pre-chorus and chorus anchor the cry in the name of Jesus, not as a formula but as the sole channel for salvation.
The bridge clarifies the central claim: Jesus is the way, the source of strength, and the “spark, a glimmer in the dark” for one who has journeyed far. This language suggests that even prolonged struggle does not cancel the certainty of being saved through Him. The song avoids explaining away the tension between human weakness and divine provision; instead, it holds both together—the wanderer’s confession and the solid promise of grace. The repeated declaration “I am saved through Jesus” becomes both a personal testimony and a theological anchor.
