so come

You have taken the precious from the weary, and given us beauty for ashes, love for hate.
You have chosen the weak things of the world to shame that which is strong, and the foolish things to shame the wise.
You are help to the helpless. Strength to the stranger, a father to the child that's left alone.
You've invited the thirsty to come to the wiser, and those who have no money coming by.
So come.
So come.
We empty ourselves of ourselves.
So come.
We ask you to come.
We ask you to come.
So come.

-Israel and the New Breed
