about

This song began several years ago as a meditation on Jesus' words in Luke 22:15. As he was celebrating the Passover with his disciples, he forever changed that ritual into something new. He told his friends, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." Then he proceeded to break the bread and pour out the wine as the grace-drenched signs of a new covenant that he was about to initiate with his death.

I was struck by those words- Jesus really wanted us to celebrate this meal with him. It's something beautiful and mysterious and gloriously satisfying. Jesus wanted to eat with his friends that night, and he wants to continually eat this meal with him, as the Church, and into the new heavens and new earth. I wanted to capture a glimpse of that with this song.

lyrics

Come, everyone who thirsts
Come to the waters
And he who has no money
Come buy and eat

Come, toil no more
Your sins- they are paid for
They are paid for
Come to the table

"And I have earnestly longed," he said
"To share this meal with you
My body and my blood
The bread and the cup"
His blood was shed for us
Shed for love
Body bruised and broken
The words that he spoke
"Do this in remembrance of me"

Come, lay your sickness down
Come to Jesus
And those of you grown weary
Come rest in him

His body and his blood
The bread and the cup
Come to the table of our king
Come to feast and leave redeemed

Take a young child and sit them in front of a piano with music books, and they may eventually play the notes on the page. But there is a depth and richness to music that comes only from standing in the midst of a whirlwind. That’s where the real music starts to take shape- the kind that speaks to the core of your soul and cries out for what you were created for. These are the whirlwind songs. ... more
