Phil Wickham's song 'Messiah' is a prayerful cry for divine help and salvation. The lyrics acknowledge human weakness and the difficulty of the spiritual journey, comparing believers to the Children of Abraham seeking the Promised Land. The repeated plea 'Messiah, save us' expresses dependence on God as the only hope and source of strength. The song reflects themes of faith, surrender, and the need for God's guidance through life's battles.

Look, the road is narrow and hard to find
With secret battles inside our minds, who can last?
God, we need Your strength to find
Your light to guide us through the night
You're our only chance
Messiah, Messiah
Messiah, save us
Run, I wanna run to Your open hand
But Father, I can barely stand on my own
Now, like the Children of Abraham
We're reaching out for the Promised Land for our home
Messiah, Messiah
Messiah, save us
Messiah, Messiah
Messiah, save us
You are our only hope
You are our only hope
You are our only hope
Messiah, Messiah
Messiah, save us, save us
Messiah, Messiah
Messiah, save us
Save us
