Saturation from Underground Shadows by The Watermelon Tree

"Saturation"

I thirst

Give me a drink, I thirst

I heard you’re the well
I heard you’re the cloud
I heard you’re the river
The river I thirst

I thirst
Give me a drink
Let me drink, I thirst

I heard you’re the well
I heard you’re the river
I heard you’re the cloud
So rain on me now

Rain on my lips
My tongue pokes out at the sky
Catch the rain in my mouth, and drink

I went to the river
I was told if I drink, I’d live

The river came from a dying man
The river’s not water, but vinegar & blood

I heard you in the earthquake
Say “take a drink”
My lips were unholy
To drink from the river

You gave me a cup
Said “I want you to live”
Said “I want you to drink,
And thirst no more”

On my knees
My arms stretched out
In a place I didn’t find on my own

I was ashamed
And I told you so

I cannot drink
Until your river washes over me
Wash it away
Wash me away
Wash away all the cruelness
All the greed
All of my pride
And all of my need for unholy things

I thirst
I thirst for you
You fill up my needs with holy things

I thirst your forgiveness
I need you & your grace
And I can’t do a thing
Except look at your face

I look at your face and I need you
I thirst for you
You fill me up

Your love will carry the hopes of the world
Will lift us, redeem us

Redeem us!

Redeemer
Life-giver
You
