The Prayer
Still needs some honing, but here is a preview of a song soon to come …
Verse 1 Have you stepped into the Jordan Before the waters stopped? Or quietly circled Jericho Before the walls were rocked? Does Canaan's fruit call out to you? Be brave, be bold, be strong! Oh, taste and see the goodness of The Lord who leads you on. He leads us to the promised land Before the battle's won And into hope of heaven's light Before we've seen the Son. Have you gazed at the horizon Before the dawn broke through? Oh, taste and see the Lord is good, He goes ahead of you. Oh, taste as see the Lord who leads Will fight the fight for you. Verse 2 Have you set aside your glory To take on servant's form? Or lived a life unstained by sin Though suff'ring shame and scorn? Have you served your blood and body Like bread and wine to save? No, I have not, but taste and see The Lord who goodly gave! He gave His life by choice, though we Were enemies with God Before our lips had cried for life He tasted death for us. Have you tasted bread from heaven Or drunk the wine that's free? Oh, taste and see, the Lord is good To those who will receive. Oh, taste an see, the Lord is good To those His love believe. Verse 3 Has the light of Jesus dazed you Although it bares your shame? And has His word become your call Although it points to pain? Have you wept along Damascus road Through eyes made blind by sin? Oh, taste and see the Lord is good To those who praise His name! We praise Him wearing shackles Before the jailhouse shakes We bear the shame of Jesus name And count each loss as gain Have you known the joy of joining The trials our Savior faced? Oh, taste and see the Lord is good To those who run the race. Oh, taste and see, you pure of heart One day, we'll see His face.
