“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he
who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and
without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and
your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat
what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food” (Isaiah 55:1-2).
You invite us to come just as we are.
There’s nothing we need to bring.
Our best efforts are filthy rags,
You provide everything.
You invite us to come with empty hands.
Come and drink and eat.
Partake of Christ, the Bread of Life,
and Living Water for free.
You invite us to come with all our sin,
and lay it down at the cross.
Leaving it there in His nail-scarred hands,
and donning His righteousness.
You invite us to come as daughters and sons,
fully part of Your family.
We’re accepted in the Beloved One.
Once bound, but now set free.
You invite us to come for every good gift,
sent down from our Father above.
All we truly need for life,
given to us by Your love.
You invite us to come, letting go of all else,
everything that does not satisfy.
Humbly receiving Your perfect gift
of eternal life with Christ.
Lord, may we be quick to turn to You and receive all that
You graciously give, forsaking all else, and clinging to You alone!
