Taste and See

[Intro]
Come close, open your eyes, let your soul be free
Taste and see, the love of the Lord, come and believe

[Verse 1]
Children gathered 'round, listen to the truth I share
Whispers of His mercy, floating softly through the air
Magnify His name, lift your hearts in harmony
He’s near to the broken, in your pain, He’s the remedy

[Pre-Chorus]
When your spirit’s contrite, and your tears begin to fall
He hears your cry, He's near, answering your call

[Chorus]
Taste and see, the kindness of the Lord
He’ll never leave, nor forsake His word
In every trial, in the stormy seas
Taste and see, the Lord is good to thee

[Verse 2]
Many afflictions come, but His grace endures
He saves the humble, His love assures
Keep your lips from lies, let truth be your song
His ears are open, He’s been there all along

[Pre-Chorus]
When your spirit’s contrite, and your tears begin to fall
He hears your cry, He's near, answering your call

[Chorus]
Taste and see, the kindness of the Lord
He’ll never leave, nor forsake His word
In every trial, in the stormy seas
Taste and see, the Lord is good to thee

[Bridge]
Lift your voice, and praise His holy name
His love is everlasting, forever the same
Broken hearts He lifts, with mercy He heals
On His promises, our hope stands real

[Outro]
Come, children, listen and believe
Taste and see, the love He gives free
Keep your faith, in Him alone
Taste and see, His mercy’s shown
