Oh Lord your word is like a wellspring
Running deep and clear and pure
It will revive our thirsting spirits
It shall insure that we will endure!
Oh Lord your love is like a river
Watering the new Jerusalem
Flowing free from your pierced side
Purifying all that enter in!
Living water still contains
the power to wash away all stains
Of lives polluted by our sins
Only Living water can fully cleanse!
And those who ride the water's course
Will find themselves at mercy's source
The one who is the last and first
And evermore quenches our thirst!
Oh Lord your love is like an ocean
Fed by rivers from the throne of Grace
A sea for cleansing mountains of sin
Cast to the depths, hidden from your face!
Living water still contains
the power to wash away all stains
Of lives polluted by our sins
Only Living water can fully cleanse!
And those who ride the water's course
Will find themselves at mercy's source
The one who is the last and first
And evermore quenches our thirst!
