This is a demo of a song I wrote last week for worship. The music came almost all at once. It is really a song about prayer. I was listening to an interview with Bill Johnson about how his prayer life has changed and was resonating with his thought process quite a bit. Meanwhile, I was reading Isaiah 55 about the free offering of real water and food recognizing this is about fellowship with Holy Spirit (real water) and seeking my Father's heart, the Word (real food). This song also draws from Psalm 131. It is about laying aside the questions I don't understand and enjoying just being with my Father. Like a weaned child who no longer sees his mother as merely a food source but instead crawls up and cuddles with her, just happy to be with her and enjoying her affection. This is what hoping in God looks like. Especially, in the midst of the whirlwind of threatening circumstances.

Come and Drink

Leave everything you know, the way that it should go
Give all you control, ease your will, and I will lead.

Leave your anxious thoughts, the answers you can’t reach
Leave what you will never understand, and come to me

You’re so deep in my love
If you’d only believe.
After all that I’ve done, all the wonders you’ve seen
And I’ll give so much more
Never end the increase.
So will you just stop, will you rest a while and be with me

Leave your self-contempt, your inability
Don’t look at yourself, lift your eyes and look at me. 

Let your reasons go, your defenses leave
Let your heart lay bare before me only to receive

You’re so deep in my love
If you’d only believe.
After all that I’ve done, all the wonders you’ve seen
And I’ll give so much more
Never end the increase.
So will you just stop, will you rest a while and be with me

Come down to the water, come and drink
Leave your work and effort, come and drink
Overflowing favor, come and drink
I am yours forever, come and drink
Be with me, come and drink.
