Water of Life
What e’er was written long ago
has stood the test of time.
Past praises penned for Christ our King. ¹
will endure longer than mine.
I only bring one song of praise,
one voice among the throng.
Yet still, I’ll write of “the water of life.” ²
freely given, all the day long!
Where else can I go? From whom may I learn
“the way the truth and the life”? ³
The way of repentance? Forgiveness? Acceptance?
Rescue from eternal strife?
He died in my place, my curse to take, ⁴
His life in exchange for mine!
Then rose from the dead to prove He is God ⁵
and fulfill prophetic signs. ⁶
This Lion of Judah, ⁷ Messiah, and Lord,
this Son of God divine—
Came to give me eternal life!
“I am His, and He is mine!” ⁸
All you who are searching, all you who are lost,
believe in the Savior today! ⁹
Worth every sacrifice, more than enough,
He is worthy! Come, I pray! ¹⁰
