From the fitful sleep of death – v4

Christ Jesus, the Messiah
my Lord and my Savior
raise me from the dead
from the throws of fitful sleep
the death of my spirit, my soul
lost for so many years.

Raise me from my sorrow
the pit of my transgressions
lost, in pain, out in the world

Touch me, heal me,
my Lord and my Savior
make me whole once more
redeem me completely;
Raise me from the dead
I want to be restored.
