I hear You whisper, “Come sit for a spell”

I know that it’s You.

It’s Your voice, I can tell.

Calling me over to sit by Your side

Your words are convincing

With Your arms open wide.

I remember that place, I remember it well

Where You draw me in

And I know I am held.

My head on Your chest as You sing over me

My ear to Your heart

To hear every beat.

I can recall the warmth of that place I call home

Where my soul comes to rest

Where my mind always roams.

So why don’t I go there so much more than I do?

Why do I choose busyness

When I could be with You?

It’s an open invitation

Admission is free

You ask me to join You

Then wait patiently.

The table is set for a party of two

One place for me

The other for You.

I smell sweet aromas of the feast You’ve prepared

Every bite made with Your sweet loving care.

But it’s Your sweet face that I can’t resist

Smiling as my name crosses Your lips.

So I kick off my shoes, run to arms open wide

Soak in Your hug, then sit by Your side.

Ready to listen to each word that You say

Ready to sing with You, ready to pray.

Help me remember why I so love this place

How far it surpasses the world’s hectic pace.

Thanks for meeting me here for a spell

It’s Your favorite part of my day, I can tell…

Isaiah 55:1 – Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

Matthew 11:28 – Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
