"Love Is Here"

Come to the water
You who thirst
And you'll thirst no more
Come to the father
You who work
And you'll work no more
And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed

Chorus
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His brow
Love is near
It satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side

'Cause love is here

Come to the treasure
You who search
And you'll search no more
Come to the lover
You who want
And you'll want no more, no
And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed
Yeah

Chorus 
And to the bruised and fallen Captives bound and broken hearted
He is the Lord
He is the Lord, yeah
By his stripes
He's paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation
He is the Lord
He is the Lord

Chorus
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His brow

Love is near
It satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
Streams of mercy flowing from His side

'Cause love is here
Love is here

     I love music. It is one of my biggest passions in life. I enjoy it in any form. When I began to think of different types of poems, I really wanted to include a song because this is my favorite type of poem. Many times poems are about love or express deep feelings. Although I did not write this song, it expresses my love and affection for Christ! The song's words are a perfect depiction of what Jesus went through on the cross for you and me. God's love satisfies us when nothing else can. I am not a fan of love poems, but in a way this could classify as one. The author took the deep affection and love that he has for Christ and put those things into words. When Close my eyes and listen to the words of this song, I get lost in awe and reverence. The fact that someone would love me, a sinner, so much is beyond my comprehension! The guys from Tenth Ave North who wrote this did a great job. It is truly a tool to help us magnify the name Jesus! Here is the song...
