		Come away, MY beloved


Come away MY beloved, come it unto ME!
To our secret place where you can be free,
where surrender is victory and dying is gain, 
where giving is winning and losing no shame.
When humbled, you stand in freedom and joy.
You will know of victory's fame and live in it's peace
Then, at last, you will
LEARN MY NAME.

Come away MY beloved, find freedom in ME!
Freedom for worship, freedom to sing!
Freedom for praising, freedom for dance,
Freedom to learn just whom you can be.
Freedom for trust, freedom for joy,
Freedom to find the truth of ME.
Freedom to have your eyes opened to see,
Freedom, at last, so you will
LEARN MY NAME

Come away MY beloved, learn to be free! 
Free to love, free to laugh,
free from the scorn, the barbs, the hate.
Free from the shame and the mockery,
from the cares of the day and all their weight,
Free from the pain that makes a prisoner of you.
Free from those things that keep us apart,
Freedom to be rid of your coldness of heart,
Freedom to turn loss into gain
And freedom at last, so you will 
LEARN MY NAME.

Come away MY beloved, surrender to ME!
This is the way to learn to be free.  
In loving, you became MY prisoner of love.
In following ME you will discover your place,
In rejoicing your bonds will fall away,
Penitent weeping removes your shame.
In dying, you gain eternal life
And the freedom to at last,
LEARN MY NAME

Come away MY beloved, learn the truth of ME!
MY NAME IS ME, IT IS WHO I AM!
 You know the what, the where and the why.
But about ME and WHO I AM,  you are unaware.
I beckon you now, this is your day,
Deep calls to deep, hear what I say.
MY beloved, come away at last TO
 LEARN MY NAME.
