Off to Church
Go with a desire to hear from God's word
to lift up your voice and to praise the Lord.
Join with the congregation and to sing
and to the Lord your God your worship bring.
'Come to me,’ you hear the Lord your God say
as off to the church you then make your way,
and into God's holy presence you go
and with tears of joy let your praises flow.
Sweet communion with Jesus takes place
as you both meet together face to face.
For there can be no greater love than this:
knowing that He is yours and you are His.
'It is with great desire,’ Jesus had said,
“To drink wine with you and to break this bread.”
And communing there in fellowship sweet
in His banqueting house you take your seat.
