All in debt, or in distress

John Berridge • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Samuel 22:2

Verse 1

All in debt, or in distress, Discontented more or less, All who would protection have, Post away to David’s cave.

Verse 2

All who find their sinful debt Deep and deeper growing yet; All who have been Satan’s tool – Much his madman or his fool;

Verse 3

All who discontented are, Full of guilt and full of fear; Every soul who would not die, Unto Jesus’ cave must fly.

Verse 4

Jesus all your debts will pay; Chase your legal duns away; Every foe he will subdue – World, and flesh, and devil too.

Verse 5

Haste, and seek the Saviour’s face; Rise, and bless him for his grace; To his scornèd cave repair; He will wash and feast you there.
