Derek Webb the spirit bears the curse

Select language to translate this lyric

help me to forget
all of my regret
I know you're strong enough to do the job
you go by many names
forever stay the same
your promises I claim
you're all I've got
we gather here because we know
there's nowhere else that we can go
where we can be really free
so, we raise our voice
we raise an offering
would you come near
and quench our thirst
oh, lift our hearts
as the spirit bears the curse
oh, we depend on you
we know that you'll come through
we feel it instantly when you move
it's more than chemistry
more than community
you enter into me
you're in my veins
you bear the weight of all our grief
uncertainty and unbelief
oh, you restore our sanity
so, we raise our voice
we raise an offering
would you come near
and quench our thirst
oh, lift our hearts
as the spirit bears the curse
now my knees are weak
my speech is slurred
oh, the things you shake
oh, the things you stir
I am calling out the only name
that delivers me from my guilt and shame
oh, alcohol
alcohol
oh, alcohol
we raise our voices for alcohol
alcohol
an offering for alcohol
alcohol
oh, alcohol
oh, alcohol
