Come Like You Promised

COME LORD LIKE YOU PROMISED

JUST LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD

DO NOT DELAY

COME WITH HEALING IN YOUR TOUCH

COME WITH FIRE IN YOUR EYES

JUST LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD

COME WITH GRACE AND MERCY

COME WITH JUDGEMENT AND MIGHT

JUST LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD


COME RIDING ON THE WIND

THROUGH CLOUDS OF GLORY PIERCE THE SKY

JUST LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD

COME AND BRING US BACK AGAIN

LORD COME RESTORE YOUR BRIDE

JUST LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD

Come, Lord, please. Come.

 

Not because we're weary of death. Not because we're tired of sickness, evil, pain and destruction. Not just because its hard to bear loved ones' pain. Not because we live with the knowledge that so much of our world lives with poverty, hunger, oppression, persecution, thirst and are dying without the knowledge of Him. Not because we wrestle with why we don't. Not because the church is in desperate need of healing. Not because children suffer at the hand of ones provided to protect and care for them. Not because Satan continues to wage war on us all.

Come because we long to see Your face. Come so that we may look upon the One who obeyed to the point of death on a cross. Come so that we may praise You for an eternity. 

Come to right all the wrong. 

Come so that no more mothers have to bury their babies. 

We know you wait, so that more will hear. So that more will come to know. And we want that. Help us to turn from all that distracts us. Help that to be our passion - our drive. Forgive us where we've failed to show You to a lost and dying world. 

Help us live here, and wait well. Help us wait for You. Working while we wait. So that more will hear.
