we drank deep of the well

we have knelt at the manger

we has walked with the Magi

bearing our own gifts

oh, how we need Jesus

we have stepped into the water

we drank deep of the well

restoring our souls

healing us within

we have steeled ourselves;

but we face trials

struggles in this life

oh, how we need Jesus

Jesus fulfilled the ancient scripture

to free the captives, to give sight to the blind

to bring God’s Kingdom

here on the earth

We are those who are blind

we are the prisoners, the captives

held by chains of our own making

oh, how we need Jesus
