Oh my love you are mine Still you run time after time Why do you leave me for these things which cannot fill? Why do you turn away to those who only kill? Soon your way you'll not find Come to see you're lost and blind So I will seek you, bring you back from brokenness Then I will heal you, raise you up with tenderness All of the lies, every scheme All of the stories you've told I will unravel, I will uncover I will not let you be sold All of your lovers - they never sought you Blessed you or made you alive I alone know you, suffered and bought you Took you and made you mine Oh my love you are mine Still you run time after time So I will seek you bring you back from brokenness Then I will heal you, raise you up with tenderness Oh my love where have you gone Jealousy is my song

In repentance and rest is your salvation In quietness and trust is your strength The Lord longs to be gracious to you He rises to show, to show you compassion And whether you turn to the right or to the left Your ears will hear a voice behind you saying: This is the way - walk in it For the Lord is a God of justice How blessed are all those who long for him
3.
Fear ye not nor be ashamed The Lord of Lords calls you by name You have been redeemed by one Whom God the Father calls his Son Peace he grants to you For he makes all things new Trust the Lord in him abide Your maker takes you as his bride Though the mountains be removed His love shall not depart from you Surely you shall feel his peace Though storms around seem ne'er to cease His compassion and great love Daily he'll make you certain of Do not fear those who oppress Take heart and grow in righteousness Terror shall no more be near For God your Savior now is here

A sinner, lost, I wander long Aware, my heart, that I’ve done wrong Fearing thy wrath, I seek to hide, Afraid thy grace will pass me by Chorus: Look now, and see! The Lord is here All weary sinners he calls near His mercies daily he renews Whate’er he’s promised, he will do. A sinner, weak, I need thy hand To lift my face, to help me stand I know not where to run for aid But to the tomb where Christ was laid A sinner, found, I weep for joy Trusting that death has been destroyed As justice to repentance calls, Thy mercy meets me where I fall A sinner, loved, by God’s good grace My guilt and shame, He’s all erased I find my fear is at an end When on his mercy I depend
5.
Come all you who are thirsty Come to the waters And you have no money Come buy and eat Without money, without cost You will go out in joy And be led forth in peace The mountains and hills will burst into song And all the trees of the field All the trees of the field will clap their hands Why spend money on what is not bread Work for what doesn't satisfy Listen to me, eat what is good In the richest food you will delight Seek the Lord while he may be found Call on him while he is near Give ear and come to the Lord Listen that you may live without fear Without worry, without fear
6.
Lord we pray - bring mercy Comfort those who are weak I sought the Lord, he answered me Delivered me from all my fears Those who look to him become radiant Their faces will not be ashamed The poor cried out, the Lord heard them And saved them from despair and grief The angel of our Lord encamps around Those who fear him and rescues them When the righteous cry out for help The Lord delivers them from death The Lord is near to those with broken hearts And saves the crushed in spirit
