Come Thirsty – v2

Oh, come thirsty, come into the sanctuary
into the presence of God, this place
onto sacred ground
be filled, be refreshed
to seek the face of Christ
in our neighbors, in the words of song,
in the message in the scripture
the telling of the Good News

Oh, come thirsty, come to the well
to the living waters of salvation
to be made new, reborn, in His image
to drink your fill, to run this race
with renewed strength, with courage,
with faith as if of a mustard seed
but able to move a mountain
stepping out of the boat onto firm water

Oh, come thirsty, to the Lord’s house
feeling His grace, all around you
entering into worship, real worship
listening for that still small voice of God
His message, His call for your life
enter into His courts, fall at His altar
believe in His plan for you, from before your birth
plans to enrich you, and to bring your home
