Losing Ground Fast is an outlaw gospel ballad by R.J. Sloane about a man watching his strength fail and refusing to believe he's been abandoned.
Every soul who's ever felt too worn down, too old, or too far gone to matter anymore knows this one, enemies whispering that he's already lost, hands shaking on work he's done his whole life, and the terrifying question of whether help is still coming.
VERSE
Pressure won't let up
Trouble breathing down my neck
Gravel giving way
Under tired boots
Still, I stay in the fight
PRE-CHORUS
Look all around
Seeking shelter
From every blow
CHORUS
Strength is failing
Losing ground fast
Hurry
I need help now!
Don't abandon me
Don't walk away
VERSE
Shadows closing in
Enemies taunting
Claim You turned Your back
Hands shake on the plow
I'm not too far gone
I'm not too far gone
PRE-CHORUS
Look all around
Seeking shelter
From every blow
CHORUS
Strength is failing
Losing ground fast
Hurry
I need help now!
Don't abandon me
Don't walk away
BRIDGE
Hands stop shaking
Grip lets go
Weight lifts
Off tired shoulders
Ground goes solid
Underneath shaky knees
Right on time
Rest finds me
FINAL CHORUS
Strength is failing
Losing ground fast
Held on tight
You showed up
Never left me
Never walked away
Held on tight
You showed up
Never left me
Never walked away
