Refrain:
“You are my people, I am your God
You are my people, close to my heart”
- Lord, we are thirsty, walkin’ thro’ this desert land!
Lord, we are thirsty, give us to drink!
The Lord sent water from the rock to give his people to drink. - Lord, we are hungry, walkin’ thro’ this desert land!
Lord, we are hungry, give us some food!
The Lord sent manna from the sky to give his people food. - Lord, we are weary, lost in this desert land!
Lord, we are weary, show us the way!
The Lord sent a pillar of cloud by day, a pillar of fire by night
to show his people the way. - Still they cried out, and they complained,
Where is the Saviour, the anointed one?”
The Lord sent his only Son, Christ, the anointed. - I give you my body to be your food;
My blood I pour out that you may never thirst,
I give you my light: I give you my love;
I give you my Spirit of love.
