Andrew Ripp's 'Rescue Me' is a heartfelt plea for spiritual renewal and redemption. The song captures a moment of deep brokenness, where the singer feels far from God and longs to be washed clean. Using the powerful imagery of being submerged in a river, he asks God to hold him under until he is transformed and ready to be rescued. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and hope, acknowledging past failures while trusting in God's ability to restore. It's a raw, honest cry for a fresh start and a deeper encounter with divine grace.

Kind feel like praying
Don't know what I'm saying been so long
Kinda feel like crying
I've crossed a line and I can't find home
But if anybody hears me
And you can undo the things I've done
Drag me down to the river and throw me in
I ain't talking bout the shallow but the deepest end
Take me down and hold me under
Don't let me breathe
Until you know I'm good and ready
For you to rescue me
Kinda feel like singing
First time feeling in oh so long
Kinda feel like swaying
Moving to the rhythm of a heeling song
Momma must be praying
Cause I can't explain what's going on
Drag me down to the river and throw me in
I ain't talking bout the shallow but the deepest end
Take me down and hold me under
Don't let me breathe
Until you know I'm good and ready
For you to rescue me
I can't believe how far I've gone
If there's still a room for me at home
Drag me down to the river and throw me in
I ain't talking bout the shallow but the deepest end
Take me down and hold me under
Don't let me breathe
Until you know I'm good and ready
For you to rescue me
Until you know I'm good and ready
For you to rescue me...
