Come to the Water
Words by John B. Foley, S.J.Music by John B. Foley, S.J.Written 1978Tune COME TO THE WATER
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,
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 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."
