Sour Wine

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

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

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

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

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

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

Look at me I'm sinking in deep mire

I see the floodwaters grow higher and higher

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
