I thirsted in the barren land of Babylon
|
|
| 1. | I thirsted in the barren land of Babylon |
| | And nothing satisfying there I found; |
| | But to the blessed local church one day I came, |
| | Where springs of living water do abound. |
| | Drinking at the springs of living water, |
| | Happy now am I, |
| | My heart they satisfy; |
| | Drinking at the springs of living water, |
| | O wonderful and bountiful supply! |
| 2. | How sweet the living water from the hills of |
| | God, |
| | It's flowing in and flowing out of me; |
| | O now I've found the place for which I long |
| | had sought, |
| | Where there is life and life abundantly. |
| 3. | O brother, won't you gather in the local |
| | church? |
| | A fountain here is flowing deep and wide. |
| | The Shepherd now would bring you to the |
| | local church, |
| | Where thirsty spirits can be satisfied. |
