Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When I was thirsty you opened up the well
One drink revived me, like water never will
I've done the searching for a greater treasure still
And all that I'm finding cannot fill
You're my living water, present in my soul
Even though I wander, I am not alone
When I feel empty, convinced my soul is dry
I lose perspective, forgetting you abide
Forever fountain you are flowing deep and wide
Inviting me inside, to the peace within
Your ever-lasting life
You're my living water, present in my soul
Even though I wander, I am not alone
You said I'm never gonna thirst again
And I haven't been the same since
Forever fountain you are flowing deep and wide
I'm at peace within your ever-lasting life
(You're my living water)
