The Living Water
The Living Water
“13LORD, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water.” Jer 17:13 NIV
Come to the Living Water
Quench your great thirst today.
Take of the bread of heaven,
God’s words will show you the way.
They are spirit and they are life,
Giving strength to our spiritual nature.
There’s a science of redemption
In each story and its picture.
The Living Water will be with us
Throughout all eternity.
Our dear Redeemer and Intercessor
Blotting out our sins in heaven’s sanctuary.
As we meditate upon the Savior
We desire to be transformed.
The Living Water washes over us,
Crippled energies with life freshly adorned.
The Living Water lies within the well;
His well of words to us;
Spoken through scribes and prophets,
And the whole of Nature’s prospectus.
The Living Water is life-giving;
Why do so many want to die;
Chase after inanimate objects,
Such ‘pie in the sky’?
The Living Water is refreshing
To the soul and to the heart.
Come drink of the Living Water
Eternity to impart.
Visualize the life of Christ,
And His willing sacrifice;
Be transformed by the Living Water;
Is there really another choice?
