Adullam: How We Got Here In The First Place

Joanne Hogg

Compositor: Andy Rogers

Lying in a bed of my own making
Surrounded by dogs baying for flesh
Am I so blind to my indiscretions
That I cannot see my part in this mess
We scream for revenge: An eye for an eye
When all of this time it’s mercy that we need

Oh my God, my hiding place
Saver of my skin
Ever gripped by your embracing wing
Take me in

Now I am sleeping with one eye open
Not really sure of who I can trust
Looking over my shoulder and guarding my back
Have all of my dreams turned into dust
Is hope an illusion? Is love a mirage?
Did we put our faith in the strength we thought we had?

Oh my God, my hiding place
Saver of my skin
Ever gripped by your embracing wing
Take me in
To your side
There I’ll hide
In the shadow of your frame

Sooner or later this danger will pass
I’ll be on my way out of this mess
These hounds will be snared in the traps that they set
I’ll finally be free from the howl of their threats

Oh my God, my hiding place
Saver of my skin
Ever gripped by your embracing wing
Take me in
