Part of a concept album where I write a song from the perspective of one of the people in each chapter of the book of Mark.
Mark 7 (Syrophoenician Woman)
Capo 5
Am
She’s in so much pain
C
Manifest again
Fmaj7 G
What hope is there for something to soothe?
Am
We face the fear each time
C
The spirit steals her mind
Fmaj7 G
What charm is there to stop what will ensue?
Em
The highest gods we hail
Am
The incantations fail
F
We follow all detail
G
But to no avail
Am
I may not be a Jew
C
But I still come to you
Fmaj7 G
What ache there is each time she succumbs
Am
You may not wish to be
C
The one who answers me
Fmaj7 G
But please allow the dogs to have the crumbs
Em
The highest gods we hailed
Am
The incantations failed
F
All our hopes derailed
G
Have you now prevailed?
C F G
C
I hoped he wasn't wrong
F
When he said it’s gone
G
The spirit has withdrawn
C G
This really is beyond
F G
What I hoped and what I dreamed
F G C
My life and joy has come back to me

I don't know anything about your source material, but this song has nice guitar fingerplaying and melody!
