Come With Us

Come With Us
Ven con nosotros y te haremos bien. Números 10:29
Come with us and we will do good with you. Numbers 10:29

by Rick Berens

Down the road we walk together
Privileged few and the picking crews
Mud is thick, water flowing
Bloody land beneath our shoes
Blood stained land beneath our shoes

Road to path the way is rough
Beware of thieves the pickers shout
A bridge is built, a stream is crossed
Out of oppression a voice cries out
From years of oppression a voice cries out

Come with us and we will do good
Walk with us and we will do good
Come with us and we will be more
Walk with us and we will be more
More than we knew was possible
More than we dreamed before
More than we hoped without you
The Loom of Love will make us more

We climb to reach the dirt floor church
A tin roof temple on cinder blocks
Dogs recline beneath Christ's table
Like shepherds guarding an angel's flock
Like shepherds guarding an angel's flock

His hearing's gone, his eyes are weak
His leathery face strains to speak
Fifty years he's served his Christ
His faith speaks out in this land of strife
His faith speaks out in this land of strife

Compañerismos we call each other
No longer strangers, now sisters and brothers
Partners in a rumor of glory
Mud and dreams tell our story
Mud and dreams tell our story

Joy in living is hard sometimes
In brilliant weavings we see the signs
Colorful threads run through our souls
The Loom of Love will make us whole
God's Loom of Love will make us whole
