(4 bar intro)
We have turned away from You, the fount of living water.
We have dug our own foul wells that can never satisfy.
We are living in a wasteland, without Your quenching flow.
Please give us living water, or we know that we will die.
Chorus
A spring of living water, a spring of living water,
A spring of living water for the desert of my soul.
I have turned away from You, the fount of living water.
I have dug my own foul wells; such a futile thing to do.
There is nothing in this wasteland to match Your quenching flow.
For all I ever needed can be only found in You.
Chorus 2X
