come My Child

“I came to earth a mere child
I died that you may live
That you can now be reconciled
To Him who loves to give

I am your God for you I care
I long to meet each need
But when you shun my house of prayer
My heart begins to bleed

So why not heed my quiet voice?
The truth that speaks to you
Rise up and come, make Christ your choice
My Flame will make you new

Child don’t you know I love you so?
I made you with my hand
Come drink of Christ that you may grow
Come live as always planned

A day will dawn when all will shake
When those not mine, will fall
They’ll burn forever in the lake
For heeding not my call

I call to you I love so dear
Come now and join the bride
Allow me take each doubt and fear
Invite my Flame inside

A robe of light I’ll give to wear
Give me your heart of stone
For I’ve no wish your love to share
But want you for my own

A crown I’ll give to Jesus’ wife
Upon your hand my ring
With peace and joy eternal life
And loves true song to sing”
