J.W. Peterson
I THIRSTED in the barren land of sin and shame,
And nothing satisfying there I found;
But to the blessed cross of Christ one day I came,
Where springs of living water did abound.
Drinking of the springs of living water,
Happy now am I,
My soul 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 makes me glad and happy all the way;
Now glory grace and blessing mark the path I’ve trod,
I’m shouting “Hallelujah” every day.
3
O sinner, won’t you come today to Calvary,
A fountain there is flowing deep and wide;
The Savior now invites you to the water free,
Where thirsting spirits can be satisfied.
