Supplication

Never begged a day in my life
Until I fed this addiction
So parched, but the river ran dry
Long ago

Now I choke on the loss of my pride
And I confess this condition
Can't go back, though I've tried
Now I beg
Now I plead

CH
God, please
Relent to this need
And I'll forget all Your hypocrisy
Can't let go
Of the hunger I know
I can't keep waiting for the mercy You owe me

Never thought I'd be brought to my knees
By a thirst with no remission
It won't fade
It just buries me deep
Day by day

Now I'm drained of the hope of release
Bound by my own possession
I can't silence the sound of my screams
So why try?
