Come
This is the first song sung during last weekend’s retreat. It was Friday night, the first day of the retreat, and I couldn’t stop my trailing tears from falling. Exactly the words I needed to hear from Him and say to Him.

Come touch my life again, break the cyrstal frame
that makes Your voice an echo
Come that my eyes may see You are real in me
and today outshines your memory
Come, love a life that’s drawn to You and through it all
Time after time can hear You say
"Stay with Me, stay here with Me,
Let My everlasting grace drench your life,
heal your wounds, love your mind, touch your soul,
renew your strength, embrace your heart,
and give you words to pray again!"
Come gentle as the night, truthful as the light
You banish all my shadows
Come if my heart could feel the touching of Your tears
that melt away my hardness
Come, love a life that’s drawn to You
And through it all, time after time can hear You say:
