Drink of Him addendum

Previously I posted Drink Of Him, which includes the line "Bring A Red Canoe"...which is a line I put in there because it was written with Camp Lone Star in mind. They have red canoes there. I got to thinking about that line and the possibility of an alternate lyric. Specifically, "bring a worn out shoe." Definitely a worn out shoe is less appealing to drink out of than just about anything else mentioned in the song. However, the beauty of drinking the living water of Christ is that He makes whatever vessel we bring to Him a great cup from which to drink. That logic clinches it: "bring a worn out shoe" is now officially an alternate lyric to Drink Of Him.

Drink Of Him

The following lyrics were written during the summer of 2007. A guy in Austin wrote a melody to use with them at Camp Lone Star in LaGrange, Texas during that summer. I've put together my own melody to it as well. It lends itself to a Power Point presentation. I actually created one to use whenever I lead it as part of our church's confirmation class. If you are interested let me know.

Drink of Him

Bring a jug, bring a pitcher
Bring a slurpee cup
Fill what you have to the brim
Bring a glass, bring a pail
Come and fill it up
Drink, drink, drink of him

CHORUSHis water is overflowing
His grace is spilling out
It’s a creek, It’s a river, It’s a great big lake
Take a drink and shout

Bring a straw, bring a bottle
Bring an old coke can
Fill what you have to the brim
Give your barrel, give your thimble
To the Waterman
And Drink, Drink, drink of Him

Bring a pot, bring a pan
Bring a tablespoon
Fill what you have to the brim
Grab a few friends, bring a big lagoon
Drink, drink, drink of Him

Bring a jar, bring a bowl
Bring a cistern, too
Fill what you have to the brim
Bring a five gallon bucket
Bring a red canoe
Drink, drink, drink of Him
