Let Your living water flow over my soul,
Let your Holy Spirit come and take control,
Of every situation that has troubled my mind,
All my cares and burdens on to you I roll.
Father, Father, Father.
Give your life to Jesus, let Him fill your soul,
Let Him take you in His arms and make you whole,
As you give your life to Him, He'll set you free,
You will live and reign with Him eternally.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
Come now Holy Spirit and take control,
Hold me in your loving arms and make me whole,
Wipe away all doubt and fear and take my pride,
Draw me to your love and keep me by your side.
Spirit, Spirit, Spirit.
Let your living water flow over my soul
Let your Holy spirit come and take control,
Of every situation that has troubled my mind,
All my cares and burdens onto you I roll.
Father, Jesus, Spirit

Song Meaning
Hlengiwe Mhlaba structures "Living Waters" as a request addressed to each person of the Trinity in turn — Father, Jesus, Spirit — rather than one long prayer to God in general. "Let your living water flow over my soul" pulls its central image from Jesus's own promise that whoever believes in him would have rivers of living water flowing from within, water that becomes a permanent spring rather than something that needs refilling from outside. Each verse hands over a different kind of trouble — troubled mind, brokenness, doubt and fear, pride — and asks a different person of the Trinity to take control of it specifically, which gives the song a quieter, more deliberate shape than its repetition might first suggest. "Give your life to Jesus, let him fill your soul" sits at the song's midpoint as the hinge between asking and receiving. By the final verse all three names are said together, Father, Jesus, Spirit, closing a structure that spent three verses separating them out individually.
