"The Horrible Pit of Hopelessness..." / Rescued

An old hymn of the church woke me up this morning. I shared the lyrics with our men's prayer group at 6:10 a.m. Then, I encouraged volunteers to come and stand before us all and thank God in praise-filled testimony for being the One who rescued us from the horrible pit of hopelessness. 

(Click below for full-text of the hymn.)

And this Scripture surely must've inspired the hymnwriter: 

"...and i wait." Psalm 5:3 GW
