Sour Wine

verse 1

Look at me I'm sinking in deep mire
I see the floodwaters grow higher and higher
I don't think I have more tears to cry
I can't even sleep because I'm overtired

verse 2

You heard the words that tore me up inside
You hear them as they echo in my mind
You know my disgrace as well as I
You feel the pain underneath every sigh

chorus

I wish I had a friend here by my side
At least some pity while I'm terrified
I was parched but what did they supply
Poison for my food and sour wine

verse 3

Zeal has got my soul preoccupied
God, their vile insults are both Yours and mine
I see them laughing as I pass them by
Even my own family will not sympathize

chorus

I wish I had a friend here by my side
At least some pity while I'm terrified
I was parched but what did they supply
Poison for my food and sour wine

bridge

Oh God, save me, set me up on high
Oh God, tell me that I'll be alright
Suffering Savior, oh with You I'll dine
Broken bread and holy wine

verse 1

Look at me I'm sinking in deep mire
I see the floodwaters grow higher and higher

chorus 2

Oh my God, please set me up on high
You hear the captives prayers and You hear mine
The needy and the poor You won't despise
Oh their afflictions You won't minimize
God please be here with me by my side
Give me some comfort I am terrified
God a better gift You will provide
Better than their sour wine
