Oh, be still my restless soul
Be still and know all the work is finished
Lay down your heavy load
Take on the yoke Jesus has given
Leave the weight of your world on His shoulders
Let the cross of His love draw you closer
To the water when you've got nothing left to offer
Just come running like a child to the Father
There's no greater fountain
For every need a supply
The river of life flows to the weary
And if you're empty broken inside
Be satisfied by His endless mercy
Leave the weight of your world on His shoulders
Let the cross of His love draw you closer
To the water when you've got nothing left to offer
Just come running like a child to the Father
Come closer to the water
If you've got nothing left to offer
Just come running like a child to the Father
There's no greater fountain
Oh my soul be still, oh my soul be lifted
He loves you, oh how He loves you
Oh my soul be still, oh my soul be lifted
He loves you, oh how He loves you
Oh my soul be still, oh my soul be lifted
He loves you, oh how He loves you
Oh my soul be still, oh my soul be lifted
He loves you, oh how He loves
Come running to the water if you've got nothing left to offer
Just come running like a child to the Father
Come closer to the water if you've got nothing left to offer
Just come running like a child to the Father
There's no greater fountain
There's no greater fountain
There's no greater fountain
