NewSong's 'Oasis' uses the metaphor of a desert traveler to describe the spiritual thirst for meaning and fulfillment. The singer searches for satisfaction in life's mirages, only to find true refreshment in Jesus, who offers living water. The song celebrates the transformation that comes from drinking of Christ, turning barrenness into fruitfulness, and compels the believer to share this found oasis with others. It's a straightforward gospel message about salvation and the abundant life found in Jesus.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Attempting to cross the desert of life
In search of my place in the sun
Fresh at first, soon I begin to thirst
Looked for a drink, but found none
I'd see water everywhere, but when I'd get there
A mirage is all it would be
Oh, parched and dried, for help I cried
Looked up, and what did I see
Oasis, Jesus
Livin' water in a dry and thirsty land
He said, "come and drink of Me
And you'll never thirst again"
Oasis, I found my place in the sun
Little did I think when I took that drink
It would fill me so
Desert sand became fertile land
And fruit began to grow
Then with new eyes given me, I could see
People dying all around
With my cup to the brim, I called out to them
"Come quick, come see what I've found"
Oasis, Jesus
Livin' water in a dry and thirsty land
He said, "come and drink of Me
And you'll never thirst again"
Oasis, I found my place in the sun
Oh, life is here, the choice is clear
There's only one Oasis
Oasis, Jesus
(Oh, my Jesus)
Livin' water in a dry and thirsty land
He said, "come and drink of Me
And you'll never thirst again"
Oasis, my Jesus, Jesus
