YOU HAVE TAKEN THE PRECIOUS
From the worthless and given us
Beauty for ashes, love for hate.
You have chosen the weak things
Of the world to shame that which is strong,
And the foolish things to shame the wise.
You are help to the helpless,
Strength to the stranger,
And a father to the child that's left alone.
And the thirsty You've invited
To come to the waters,
And those who have no money, come and buy.
So come, so come.
So come, so come.
Behold the days are coming
For the Lord has promised,
That the ploughman will overtake thereaper.
And our hearts will be the threshing floor,
And the move of God we've cried out for
Will come, it will surely come.
For You will shake the heavens,
And fill Your house with glory,
And turn the shame of the outcast intopraise.
And all creation groans and waits
For the Spirit and the Bride to say
The word that Your heart has longed tohear.
