Oh, Come To The Waters
As a Roman Catholic child I was taught,
by nuns to come to the waters;
that wealth was not happiness,
nor was a new car,
or huge house or fancy clothes !
My life has not been easy to endure,
full of tragedy and heartache;
but always God speaks to me,
Jesus holds my hand,
and the Holy Spirit gives me courage !
I try to be courageous in this life given,
to do whatever is asked of me;
coming to the waters of the Lord,
I drink from the coolness,
it fills me with serene tranquility !
The Lord says tell the evil to change their ways,
to turn to faith to seek help;
to drink from the waters of faith,
to believe, to accept, to change
and they too can be courageous !
When I go out in nature I see the Lord's work,
the trees growing, the blue skies;
the sun, moon, and flowers blooming,
everything on earth is the Lord's will,
and he asks so little in return !
