We Beseech Thee

SOLO
Father, hear thy children's call
Humbly at thy feet we fall
Prodigals confessing all
We beseech thee, hear us

We, thy flock, have disobeyed
Into paths of sin have strayed
And repentance have we laid
We beseech thee, hear us

Come sing about love
That caused us first to be
Come sing about love
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about love
That draws us lovingly
We beseech thee, hear us

CHORUS
Sick

SOLO
We turn to thee for cure

CHORUS
Guilty

SOLO
We seek thy mercy sure

CHORUS
Evil

SOLO
We long to be made pure

ALL
We beseech thee, hear us

CHORUS
Blind

SOLO
We pray that we may see

CHORUS
Bound

SOLO
We pray to be made free

CHORUS
Stained

SOLO
We pray for sanctity

ALL
We beseech thee, hear us

SOLO
Come sing about love (love)
That caused us first to be
Come sing about love (love)
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about love (love, love)
That draws us lovingly

ALL
We beseech thee, hear us

By thy gracious saving call
Spoken tenderly to all
Who have shed man's guilt and fall
We bessech thee, hear us

By the love that longs to bless
Pitying our sore distress
Leading us to holiness
We beseech thee, hear us

SOLO
Come sing about love (love)
That caused us first to be
Come sing about love (love)
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about love (love, love)
That draws us lovingly

ALL
We beseech thee, hear us

(various vocal percussion solos)

Grant us hope from Earth to rise
And to strain with eager eyes
Towards the promised heavenly prize
We beseech thee, hear us

SOLO
Come sing about love (love)
That caused us first to be
Come sing about love (love)
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about love (love)
Love (love)
Love (love)
C'mon sing about love (love)
Love (love)
Love (love)
C'mon sing about love

CHORUS
That draws us lovingly

ALL
We beseech thee, hear us
