Words

And Jesus said 'I love you'

And Jesus said, 'I love you,
Here in my heart take root.'
And Jesus said, 'I love you: be true.

'When the darkness fell on earth
And my people rejected me,
I cried, 'I thirst': I needed presence and company.
When you raised me on the tree,
I called each one to stand with me
On holy ground,
To touch my body with dignity.

'Give me water now to drink
From the well of your stony heart,
And I will strike to free the waters within you.
Waters welling up
From the body they pierced,
Seen mixed with blood:
My life is poured out in faithful love'.

da Noust

da Noust is the pen-name of musicians based in the L'Arche Edinburgh community.
