Now a major move is underway to establish McClarney as a top selling artist as well as a composer. In November of last year Kingsway Music released in Britain the rather bizarrely titled EP Introducing Chris McClarney. Why bizarre? Well, in 2008 Kingsway had issued a McClarney album Love Never Fails.
Broadcaster/journalist Mike Rimmer met up with Chris when he was over in Eastbourne ministering at the Mission Worship conference. Wasn't calling your second release 'Introducing. . .' a strange idea? "It wasn't my idea," exclaimed Chris. "My idea was to release a 'Greatest Hits' album first. But they didn't like that. Kingsway thought that people should get to know me. It is a little backwards, but I don't know if a lot of people have heard my first record. I put together and funded 'Love Never Fails' myself."

Thirsty
Chris McClarney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the well that never runs dry
Go deep
And let Love teach us to fly
Pre-There is rest here in the arms of Christ
And all who seek will surely find
If you're thirsty
The Spirit and the bride say come
There's mercy
It doesn't matter what you've done
Oh come, oh come
Just breathe
Let peace take over your soul
Whatever you need
Our God is in control
Pre-There is rest here in the arms of Christ
And all who seek will surely find
Bridge
There's healing, there's freedom
There's more than enough for everyone
There's healing, there's freedom
There's more than enough for everyone
Channel
So we come
Lord we come

We're thirsty
Your Spirit and the bride say come
Oh come, oh come
There's mercy
It's all because of what you've done
Oh come, oh come
