When we thirst for a drink that does not come
When we are withered by the sun
You flow streams from your Son
Run river runWe are drowning in brokenness
Your water laps at the shore of our emptiness
You flow streams from your Son
Run river runRushing water overflows the cup, why such despair
Should we place our faith in other saviors that just aren’t there
You flow streams from your Son
Run river runYou quench our dryness with water to the lip
Offering living water if we will only sip
You flow streams from your Son
Run river runWater that brings us to our knees
Peace-filling, Hope-building, Life-giving eternity
You flow streams from your Son
Run river runRun river run
Wash the drought from our souls
Flood us with your thirst quenching Son
Run river run
Fill us full
Living water? Life giving water that flows so freely. We don’t have to obtain it. We don’t have to buy it. We don’t have to earn it. We don’t have to do enough. We don’t have to do more. Living water that’s free for the taking. Living water available to quench the aching thirst of our souls, of our lives, of our eternities. We simply have to accept the power of it and allow it to run within until overflowing.
“If you are thirsty, come to me! If you believe in me, come and drink! For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water will flow out from within.”
John 7:38
