Living Water

Rising in the early morning, contemplating this new day,

Needing pow’r beyond my own to strengthen me and send me on my way,

Turning to the Holy Scriptures, treasuring the words of Christ,

This is water which He spoke of, springing up to everlasting life.

I daily drink of living water, a flowing stream that fills my soul.

Oh, there is something in these words beyond the wisdom of the ages,

For tiny drops of liquid light come spilling from the pages.

I daily drink of living water.

Every day I cross a desert, bringing water in supply,

For the hazards of the journey tend to drain and leave a spirit dry.

How I crave this living water, balm for every earthly pain.

Strength to bear up each new burden, fountain to spire and sustain.

I daily drink of living water, a flowing stream that fills my soul.

Oh, there is something in these words beyond the wisdom of the ages,

For tiny drops of liquid light come spilling from the pages.

I daily drink of living water.

An oasis of refreshment, one on which I can rely.

Those who drink from other wells will find that none can ever satisfy.

I daily drink of living water.
