Springs of life

I went to the river to bathe my soul

I sought the One who made me whole

I knew that He could give me rest

and I would put Him to the test.

He found me in that river wide

and He came closer to my side

for in His hands He held something

that could bring joy in place of suffering.

From His pierced hands water flowed

and this water was with life endowed

He gave me some of this to drink

and it would change the way I think.

I never thirsted once again

after I drank from Him who was slain,

but I also emerged completely clean

when once I knew whom I had seen.

I now have waters welling up inside

like a torrential vibrant tide

since the Spirit came to live in me

so others can also drink freely.
