We have tried to drink from places
Where the water had no taste
Where the cisterns were broken and dry
In our thirstiness we cry
Without water we will die
Though we brought it on ourselves You replied

I have stretched out My hand
I have called you by name
I have broken the bonds
By which you’ve been chained
With compassionate love
I have stayed by your side
I AM the groom
Won’t you come be My bride

We have tried to fill ourselves
With the things we think we need
Though the things we think we need are often lies
In our weariness we cried
Lord we’re empty deep inside
Though we brought it on ourselves You replied
