Shane & Shane's 'Living Water' is a worship song that invites the weary and broken to find rest, refreshment, and healing in Christ, who is portrayed as the source of living water. Drawing from biblical imagery like the river of God and the deer panting for water, the song emphasizes themes of mercy, hope, and security in God's presence. It calls listeners to lay down their old lives and rise up in newness, pointing to the cross as the place of cleansing. The bridge echoes Psalm 42, expressing a deep longing for God alone.

Verse 1

Are you thirsty, are you empty

Come and drink these living waters

Tired and broken, peace unspoken

Rest beside these living waters

 

Chorus 1

There's a river that flows with mercy and love

Bringing joy to the city of our God

There our hope is secure, do not fear anymore

Praise to the Lord of living waters

 

Verse 2

Christ is calling, find refreshing 

at the cross of living waters

Lay your life down, all the old gone

Rise up in these living waters 


Chorus 1

There's a river that flows with mercy and love

Bringing joy to the city of our God

There our hope is secure, do not fear anymore

Praise to the Lord of living waters


Bridge

As the deer panteth for the water

So my soul longeth after Thee

You alone are my heart's desire

And I long to worship Thee


You alone are my strength, my shield

To You alone may my spirit yield

You alone are my heart's desire

And I long to worship Thee


Verse 3

Spirit moving, mercy washing

Healing in these living waters

Lead your children to the shoreline

Life is in these living waters

 

Chorus 2

There's a river that flows with mercy and love

Bringing joy to the city of our God

There our hope is secure, do not fear anymore

Praise to the Lord of living water
