Who knew the choice
That he would make
In a moment walk away
Seemed a picture perfect life
Now himself, his kids
His wife are shipwrecked
And what became of faith
Was it all a masquerade
Or one day starting to love
Something more than he loved truth
It was one more phone call
Chilling me within
Can’t deny the consequence of sin
Chorus:
Sober me
Sober me
Lord, wake me to the shadows
That are closing in on me
It’s hard to see the nightfall
When it falls so gradually
Sober me
Desire crouches at my door
But I’ve never heard him roar
He’s so silent but so real
He will lie and kill and steal
Be near, Lord
Keep my soul alert
Of the many I would hurt
With one foolish choice I’d make
There’s so much at stake
Remind me
The most dangerous place to be
Is when I’m thinking
It could never happen to me
Repeat Chorus
It’s hard to see the nightfall
When it falls so gradually
Sober me
