Come to the waters
You who thirst and you’ll thirst no more
Come to the Father
You who work and you’ll work no more
All you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands from His brow
Love is near it satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
Cause Love is here
Come to the treasure
You who search and you’ll search no more
Come to the lover
You who want and you’ll want no more
All you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands from His brow
Love is near it satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
And to the bruised and fallen
Captives bound and brokenhearted
He is the Lord, He is the Lord
By His stripes He’s paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation
He is the Lord, He is the Lord
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands from His brow
Love is near it satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
Behind the Song:“‘Love is Here’ is a song that was written in response to frustration of just hearing kid
after kid after kid and adult after adult after adult just saying, ‘You know I would know that God loves
me if. . .’ Fill in the blank with whatever, but we run a dangerous game if we start asking God to prove
things that he’s already proven. Romans 5:8 says God demonstrates present tense, his love, in how,
while we are still sinners Christ died, past tense, died for us and basically with that verse he’s saying,
‘Look God is proving his love for you today.’ Christ died on the cross and our responsibility is to
simply fix our eyes on Jesus. Love is here. Everything we are longing for, whether we would say it this
way or not, is really Jesus. Our hearts are made for him and are hearts are restless until they rest in
him. That’s what St. Augustine said, so that song is just a call to anyone everywhere that the thing you
want is here in the name of Jesus.” - Mike Donehey (
