Just when my defeat looked certain
Underneath a burden
Sunk down, jail-bound
Surrounded on all sides
High and dry at low tide
Ambushed at the roadside
Tongue-tied, cried out
I thought I had nothing
Nothing without you
(Chorus:)
You came to my rescue
I'm alive
Buried mustard seed in darkness
Too far down for harvest
Years to reach the surface
Breakthrough into sunlight
Straight and tall and upright
First among the forest
More than what was promised, promised
I had nothing, nothing without you
