Fill Me

How we long to see as he sees
Oh how we long for his eyes
But they will not help you in anything
If you don't first have his life.

Draw me the water of life
Jesus, draw me a cup from your well
Mine is so dry and so shallow
Yet yours does ever flow.

Keep my cup full,
overflow me Jesus,
Keep my cup full,
Overflow me.
Drown out what's left
Of my sorry flesh,
And unleash on me your torrent of love.

For your water is life! Sweet eternity.
My mouth is parched from this world.

Your water is life, oh Lord pour through me, your waters to give me life

A Painful Cry


The world is a cheap bottle of wine
being emptied all the time into
the stomachs of sinners
wasting their lives.

The world is a hollow glass corpse,
a whore—
she always dissatisfies;
She lies, she lies—
To live for her is painstaking suicide.

Tell me that this is not your life.
I dare you— tell me that this is not your life.

The world is decaying, and everybody knows.
They try to save that which was never very good.

It’s ‘cause they’ve made her their home,
and they’re sitting on her throne
and they know they’re going down together
into the pits of death forever.                    (Wake up and hear)
INTO THE PITS OF DEATH FOREVER—

She is a cheap bottle of wine
being emptied all the time into
the stomachs of sinners
wasting their lives.

She is a hollow glass corpse,
A whore—
She always dissatisfies;
She lies, she lies—
To live for her is painstaking suicide—

Turn away from her while there is still time.
Come drink from the only one who satisfies.

Oh come quickly you’re running out of time.
Oh come quickly, oh come be filled with life.

Oh come quickly you’re running out of time.
Oh come quickly, oh come be filled with life.
