The Oasis

Oh what blessed thought

As we travel the desert road,

Knowing that when it pleases Him

There we'll find

"An Oasis for thirsty souls".

A place for rest and refreshment,

Wholesome food cooked to a turn.

The comfort of a warm clean bed -

A cosy fire which brightly burns.

But more than that - there's soul food

In the love and laughter echoing thro,

As we share with each other the joy -

Of a Saviour and life anew.

'Tis a hallowed place this Oasis,

Reaching out an invitation afar -

And you'll find it at "Bienvenue"

On the outskirts of "Waipawa".
