Come to the Water

But when I am afraid, I will put my confidence in you. Yes, I will trust the promises of God. And since I am trusting him, what can mere man do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4 TLB).
You have seen me tossing and turning through the night. You have collected all my tears and preserved them in your bottle! You have recorded every one in your book. (Psalm 56:8 TLB)


FOR THOSE TEARS I DIED
Marsha Stephens
1969

Chorus:

And Jesus said, Come to the water, stand by my side,
I know you are thirsty, you 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.

Verses:

You said you’d come and share all my sorrows,
You said you’d be there for all my tomorrows.
I came so close to sending you away,
And just like you promised, you came there to stay.
I just had to pray.
Your goodness so great I can’t understand,
And, dear Lord, I know that this was all planned.
Savior, you’re here now, and always will be.
Your love is so great and always so free, Jesus and me.
Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul.
I know, without God I’d never be whole,
Saviour, you opened up all the right doors,
And I thank you and praise you from earth’s humble shores.
Take me, I’m yours.
