New World Son's 'Love, Rescue Me' is a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and redemption. The singer acknowledges personal failures and the weight of shame, asking Love—personified as God—to lift him up and set him free. He references walking through the valley of the shadow, yet admits that even the rod and staff no longer comfort him, showing a deep spiritual struggle. The song moves from despair to a glimmer of hope as he stands at the entrance of a new world, trusting that Love will rescue him. It's a raw, honest cry for grace and restoration.

Love, rescue me
Love, rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don't, let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love, rescue me
Many strangers, have I met
On the road, to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love, rescue me
Now the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here, without a name
In the palace of my shame
Love, rescue me
Love, rescue me
Oh, even though I walk
Through the valley of the shadow
No, I will fear no evil there
God I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
I say Love, rescue me
I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance
To a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love, rescue me
Won't You rescue me, yeah
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Love, rescue me
Sing it one more time
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Love, rescue me
Won't You, won't You rescue me
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Said Love, rescue me
Won't You rescue me
I'm down on my knees
