[to the tune of Feed The Birds from the musical Mary Poppins] [Verse] Why do you spend on things other than bread? On that which can not satisfy?

[Chorus] Come to me, all you who thirst Calling, calling, do nothing first Come to me, do not think twice Come buy, come eat, there is no price [Verse] You shall go out in joy, be led in peace; Hillsides in gladness will swell. The mountains and hills shall go singing before you, And the trees of the fields as well. [Chorus] Come to me, all you who thirst Calling, calling, do nothing first Come to me, do not think twice Come buy, come eat, there is no price ---------- Certainly, more than an echo of Isaiah 55.
