You are my People I am your God Lyrics

Refrain: “You are my people, I am your God

You are my people, close to my heart”

1. Lord, we are thirsty, walkin’thro’ this desert land!

Lord, we are thirsty, give us to drink!

The Lord sent water from the rock to give his people to drink.

2. Lord, we are hungry, walkin’thro’ this desert land!

Lord, we are hungry, give us sky to give his people food!

The Lord sent manna from the sky to give his people food.

3. Lord, we are weary, lost in this desert land!

Lord, we are weary, show us the way!

The Lord sent a pillar of cloud by day, a pillar of fire by night to show his people the way.

4. Still they cried out, and they complained,

Where is the Saviour, the anointed one?

The Lord sent his only Son, Christ, the anointed.

5. I give you my body to be your food,

My blood I pour out that you may never thirst,

I give you my light, I give you my love,

I give you my Spirit of Love.
