1
I come to Thee, dear Lord,
  My heart doth thirst for Thee;
Of Thee I’d eat, of Thee I’d drink.
  Enjoy Thee thoroughly.
2
Just to behold Thy face,
  For this my heart doth cry;
I deeply long to drink of Thee
  My thirst to satisfy.
3
Thy glorious, radiant face
  My heart delights to see;
Here I’d abide and ne’er depart,
  Beholding constantly.
4
In such a fellowship
  Thou, Lord, art grace to me;
My heart and spirit gladdened, filled,
  I enter rest in Thee.
5
Lord, I would linger here,
  Still seeking after Thee,
Continue in the Word and prayer
  Till Thou dost flow thru me.

Oh Lord, when my heart feels hunger and thirst for You, my spirit is poor, I come to You and seek a fellowship with You. I eat and drink You. My heart will be satisfied and my spirit filled with You. Praise the Lord, You are my nourishment and my satisfaction!

Vengo a Ti, Senor

De Ti yo tengo sed

Beber de Ti, comer de Ti

Es mi mayor placer

Clama mi corazon

Solo mirar Tu faz

Beber de Ti anhelo yo

Hasta mi sed saciar

Desea mi corazon

Ver Tu gloriosa faz

Yo quiero asi permanecer

Firme, mirandola

En esta comunion

Eres la gracia en mi

De regocijo lleno estoy

Y descansando en Ti

Aqui me quedare

Buscando mas de Ti

En la Palabra y oracion

Hasta el fluir sentir

God came down on the earth as a courting man...He gives Himself for us, He died on the cross to save us, He was resurrected and became the life-giving Spirit.... to be mingled in our spirit..

Now that He is mingled in our spirit..He wants us to come to Him...to Love Him, to spend time with Him, to drink Him, to feast on Him, to behold His face us our Lover.

I come to Thee dear Lord

My heart doth thirst for Thee,

Of Thee I'd eat, of Thee I'd drink,

Enjoy Thee thoroughly.

Amen Lord, I love You with all my heart.

How sweet to be called to the Lord's presence morning by morning through song

and word and prayer. Lord, increase and deepen Your presence until we are lost

in You.

I was awoken with the words "drink deeply", so I begun a search to find the meaning and it led me to these heart felt songs. Drink deeply the love of Jesus, my friend.

In our approach to the Bible today, we may be either in the 'day' or in the 'night.' By the Lord's mercy, we can testify that concerning the Bible we in the Lord's recovery are in the 'day.' As we read the Word of God, we experience sunrise, not sunset. But when many read the Bible, they are in the 'night.' As Paul said of the Jews, there is a veil upon their heart in the reading of the Scriptures (2 Cor. 3:14). They are veiled by their tradition and by their natural concepts. In their experience the Bible thus becomes a book of dead letters. Like the ancient Pharisees, scribes, and Judaizers, they handle the Word without directly contacting the Lord. Instead of exercising their spirit, they rely on their natural understanding. Furthermore, they are often zealous to maintain their religious tradition. But whenever we come to the Word, we need to contact the Lord. As we come to the Lord in the Word, we need to hunger and thirst for Him and seek to enjoy Him. This seeking after the Lord is well expressed in the lines of a hymn:

... [Stanzas 1 and 2]

In our reading and pray-reading of the Word, we should seek the Lord's glorious, radiant face. Then in our experience the Word of God will be a source of life supply and nourishment, and we shall be in the 'day,' not in the 'night.'
