Lord, You Have Come to the Seashore
Verse 1
Lord, you have come to the seashore,
neither searching for the rich nor the wise,
desiring only that I should follow.Refrain
O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, you have spoken my name,
all I longed for I have found by the water,
at your side, I will seek other shores.Verse 2
Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
in my boat you find no power, no wealth,
Will you accept then, my nets and labor?

Better than splendour and wealth.Verse 1

Feasting with men, fasting alone,
