Come Lord Jesus quickly come
Come and heal I pray
In the shelter of Your love
Let me see Your face
Ever faithful, always good
Lover of my soul
Come unto the children lost
Make Your people whole
Come Lord Jesus quickly come
I am longing still
Overwhelm my heart with love
Moved to do Your will
Awake my soul
Come like the thunder
O gentle whisper
Nathan Jess & Steph Macleod
