Rivers of Rest

Though I may search through this world I will not see

No matter where look You are the only well for me.

There are broken cisterns all around

Where bitter waters may be found

But the living water is what will quench my thirst

But I must drink deeply first.

Into your living water I would deeply sink

To immerse myself in you and there to deeply drink

So baptize me with water, Lord that flows from mercy's source

On your mighty river I would set my course.

Rivers of Rest, where we are blessed

Rivers of rest where we are blessed.
