And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord:

without money, without price. Why should you pay the price,

except for the Lord?

(enter bass and violin)

2. And let all who seek, let them come to the water.

And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord:

without money, without strife. Why should you spend your life,

(enter keyboard)

except for the Lord?

3. And let all who toil, let them come to the water.

And let all who are weary, let them come to the Lord:

all who labor, without rest. How can your soul find rest,

except for the Lord?

4. And let all the poor, let them come to the water.

Bring the ones who are laden,

(enter bass and guitars)

bring them all to the Lord:

bring the children without might. Easy the load and light:

come to the Lord. Come to the Lord.

Come to the Lord. Come to the Lord.

I will run to you. I will run to you.

I will run to you, my Lord.
