The Lord's Invitation

55 (A) If you are thirsty,
    come and drink water!
If you don't have any money,
    come, eat what you want!
Drink wine and milk
    without paying a cent.
(B) Why waste your money
    on what really isn't food?
Why work hard for something
    that doesn't satisfy?
Listen carefully to me,
and you will enjoy
    the very best foods.

(C) Pay close attention!
    Come to me and live.
I will promise you
the eternal love and loyalty
    that I promised David.

    my faithful love(L) promised to David.(M)
