Verse 21, from the lion's mouth and the horns of the wild ox, save me,
oh God. He finally gets to the place in this journey in a sense that
he's undertaking, which is a type of the cross where he says, it comes
down to this. Oh, save me, God.

I can't save myself. I can't talk my way out of this. I don't have the
strength to get out of this.

I can't go into the places that you're calling me to go. I can't be the
person that you're calling me to be. God, you have to come and you have
to save me.

John, the beloved apostle, he says it this way in John chapter 12 and
verses 24 to 26. Most assuredly, Jesus said, I say to you, unless a
grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if
it dies, it produces much grain.
