You said You'd come
to share all my sorrows,
You said You'd be there
for all my tomorrows;
I came so close to sending You away,
But, just like You promised,
You came there to stay-
I just had to pray!
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side,
I know you are thirstyyou
won't be denied;
I felt every teardrop
when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you
That for those tears I died."
Your goodness so great
I can't understand,
And, dear Lord, I know
that all this was planned;
I know you're here
now and always be,
Your love loosed my chains,
And in You I'm free-
But, Jesus, why me?
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side,
I know you are thirstyyou
won't be denied;
I felt every teardrop
when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you
That for those tears I died."
Jesus, I give You my heart
and my soul!
I know now without God
I'd never be whole;
Saviour, You opened all the right doors,
And I thank You and praise You
From earth's humble shores
Take me, I'm Yours!
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side,
I know you are thirstyyou
won't be denied;
I felt every teardrop
when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you
That for those tears I died."
