In the distance I can hear a rumbling...
I hear hooves digging up the ground at break neck
  speed...
I see in the distance...
A great army covered by the swirling of steeds'
  blasts...

They are intense...
All are armed and ready for battle.
Swords unsheathed raised in the air...
The war cry is deafening

As the army cries out the name of the Leader
The One riding out front
Riding high and regal
His steed takes strong purposeful strides

It is the King                           
He has heard me
He comes to my rescue
His eyes are aflame

He is coming to rescue me
I hear Him calling
He is seeking the enemy; the one who would dare
But as I look around for the host that encamped
  around me, they are gone...in the wind

As my hero approaches
He reaches down and catches me up with Him
His steed keeping pace
Together we ride

With His nail-scarred hands, He wipes away my  
  tears
He kisses and binds my wounds
He is loving to me
As I lay my head on His bosom I find comfort in His
  heartbeat

He looks down at me and smiles
"My child why did you fear?"
"Did you not know I would be here when you
  needed me?"
"Did you think for one moment I would ever let the
  enemy conquer you?"

"Do you not know how much I love you?"
"I will never leave you alone, all you need do is call
  on Me and believe"
All the darkness around fades as He looks down at
  me and smiles

The warmth takes away every chill of fear I have
I then grab hold of Him and nestle under His wing
A place of safety and peace
Oh what joy to know I have been rescued by the
  King!
