Come Lord Jesus
Verse 1
Christ come quickly, there’s danger at the door.
Poverty a plenty, hearts gone wild with war.
There’s hunger in the city and famine on the plain.Refrain
Come, Lord Jesus, the light is dying, the night keeps crying: come, Lord JesusVerse 2
Want demands a hearing in far too many lands,
The sick go unattended, death deals a heavy hand.
The dreams of men are empty, their cup of sorrow full.

Beyond the moon and stars, as deep as night,
So great our hunger, Lord, to see your light.

So may we come to rest where angels sing.Verse 1
Our eyes have longed to see your loving face,
To live within your courts for all our days.Verse 2
Your roads have led us, Lord, ‘cross desert sand.
We place our hopes and dreams within your hand.Verse 3
Upon our darkness, Lord, a light has shone.
You came to dwell with us in flesh and bone.
