Thirst shows our need of water
Hunger shows our need of food
Pain makes us crave peace
Anxiety shows we need certainty
Weariness shows our need of rest
Come to me all who thirst
I am the bread of life
I have come to heal the broken-hearted
I am the beginning and the end
Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest
Without the climb,
the view of your face would be less sweet
and our empathy for others wanting
You scaled the mountain before us
You know what we feel
You share our journey with us
You teach us through trials that your presence alone is comfort enough
And so you prepare our hearts for the delight of heaven.
