Jesus my Living Water
Name above all names
Lamb of God, New Life Giver
You conquered the grave
I don't have to wonder where my hope is coming from
I lift my hands for who You are and everything You've done
Oh
I know what I'm reaching for
I know what I'm reaching for
I'm reaching for You
I'm reaching for You
Oh
I know what I'm living for
I know what I'm living for
I'm living for You
I'm living for You
Ooh, yeah
Healer of broken people
You're never far away
I draw close, You draw closer
Meet me in this place
I don't have to wonder where my hope is coming from (Coming from)
