- 16 “Why do you ask me,” Samuel said, “since the Lord has turned away from you and has become your enemy?[c] 17 The Lord has done to you[d] exactly what he spoke through me: The Lord has ripped the kingdom out of your hands and has given it to your friend David. 18 The Lord has done this very thing to you today because you didn’t listen to the Lord’s voice and didn’t carry out his fierce anger against the Amalekites. 19 The Lord will now hand over both you and Israel to the Philistines.

| Lyrics | Message | NRSV |
| The drought was the very worst When the flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst It was months and months of back and forth You’re still all over me Like a wine-stained dress I can’t wear anymore | Scrub away my guilt, soak out my sins in your laundry. I know how bad I’ve been; my sins are staring me down. | Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. (2-3) |
| Hung my head as I lost the war And the sky turned black like a perfect storm | You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen it all, seen the full extent of my evil. You have all the facts before you; whatever you decide about me is fair. | Against you, you alone, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgment. (4) |
| So I punched a hole in the roof Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud But no one heard a thing | What you’re after is truth from the inside out. Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. | You desire truth in the inward being;[a] therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. (6, 8-9) |
| And by morning Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean | God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. | Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right[b] spirit within me. (10) |
| Ten months sober, I must admit Just because you’re clean, don’t mean you don’t miss it Ten months older, I won’t give in Now that I’m clean, I’m never gonna risk it | Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise.16 Going through the motions doesn’t please you, a flawless performance is nothing to you. | Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your deliverance. 15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 For you have no delight in sacrifice; if I were to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased. (14-16) |
| Rain came pouring down When I was drowning, that’s when I could finally breathe And by morning Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean | I learned God-worship when my pride was shattered. Heart-shattered lives ready for love don’t for a moment escape God’s notice. | The sacrifice acceptable to God[d] is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. (17) |
