Thirst (Psalm 22) ft. Jeremy Johnson Lyrics

Even in the darkest night

I can still see a trace of light coming in

Looking to an empty sky

Wishing that I could fly and be home again

Blurry with a violent heat

The sun beats on my bloodied face

Forsaken and forgotten

Left in a dead garden seeking a Father's grace

I cry out, I am tired and weak

My hands and my feet

Looking home, a tortured lamb

They don't know who I am

As I live their sin

The thirst within grows deep

My tongue lost in a cheek in the dust of death

But I pour like a river

Reduced to a quiver as I draw each breath

Lions form their hungry ring

To watch a dying king and divide their prey

Father, forgive their shame

If they knew my name it would not be this way

I call out, they gamble for clothes

No shame in them shows

Laughter kills, like this is a joke

They mock and the gloat

I do this for them

My God, why are you far from me?

Your only Son dies on a crooked tree

The world that I love laughs as I bleed

Father, reach earth from heaven

Answer me

Even in the darkest night

I can still see a trace of light coming in

Looking to an empty sky

Wishing that I could fly and be home again

And as I call out your name

You see through the shame and hear my cry

Father, take this sacrifice

A lamb offered before your eyes as I say good-bye

I see you, the hope of my eyes

As I lay down and die

Looking home, to my Father's love

Forgive what they've done

It is finished
