Pour water down my thirsty lungs.
I've got Your name trapped in my tongue.
I call it out to set me free,
"Won't You come and be the death of me?"
Flesh is strong. It knows my name,
Brands my cheeks with red-hot shame,
Or numbs my hands with apathy.
Come quick and be the death of me.
I shone a torch inside my cave
To find somebody good and brave
The echoes mocked: "There's no good in me!
In me.
Me."
I need You to be the death of me.
So bring me low, six feet down under.
Plant a stone reading: "Watch and Wonder.
Under this Stone there lies a Seed.
Her selfishness was the death of Me."
And when I'm good and dead and buried
Raise me up and I'll get married,
Join my name to His destiny:
The Man who was the death of me.
