I Come to You and Open Wide

lyricist: J. F.
Composer: Irish traditional melody

I come to You and open wide

My mouth

so You can fill it full.

How rich

dear Lord

You are to me

All else is naught but vanity.

How rich You are

the fountainhead

With living water flowing free.

No other drink could quench my thirst

Nor shine in me so radiantly.

So fill me

Lord and fill me now.

I need You

Lord and all You are

To spread into my deepest part

And make Your home in all my heart.

The hungry ones You fill with good

The poor in spirit You reward.

As I partake of You as food

Do cleanse away all dead things stored.

I eat You and I’m satisfied.

No other food for me will do.

I’ve tasted

Lord

that You are good.

I live my life with this in view.
