"YOU SAID YOU'D COME AND SHARE ALL MY SORROWS,
YOU SAID YOU'D BE THERE FOR ALL MY TOMORROWS
JUST LIKE YOU PROMISED
YOU CAME HERE TO STAY
I JUST HAD TO PRAY."
And Jesus said, " Come to the water. Stand by my side.
I know you are thirsty. You won't be denied
I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried
And I strove to remind you, that for those tears, I died."
"YOUR GOODNESS SO GREAT, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
AND DEAR LORD I KNOW THAT ALL OF THIS WAS PLANNED.
I KNOW YOU'RE HERE NOW, AND ALWAYS WILL BE
YOUR LOVE LOOSED MY CHAINS AND IN YOU I'M FREE
BUT JESUS, WHY ME?"
And Jesus said, "Come to the water, Stand by my side
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried
And I strove to remind you, that for those tears, I died."
YOU SAID YOU'D BE THERE FOR ALL MY TOMORROWS
JUST LIKE YOU PROMISED
YOU CAME HERE TO STAY
I JUST HAD TO PRAY."
And Jesus said, " Come to the water. Stand by my side.
I know you are thirsty. You won't be denied
I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried
And I strove to remind you, that for those tears, I died."

And Jesus said, "Come to the water, Stand by my side
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every tear drop when in darkness you cried

There is a line left out in the beginning...after "all my tomorrows" it reads "I came so close to sending You away" then "But just like You promised... and the rest of the verse. I really love this song too! And used to sing it in the 80s at church! Great song!! Also, there's one more verse to it... goes like this: "Jesus I give You my heart and my soul, I know now without God I'd never be whole. Saviour You've opened all the right doors... and I praise You and thank You from earth's humble shores... take me I'm Yours." Then to Chorus.
