I walked one day where the water flows

Gently bubbling joy

Singing peaceful melodies

Unheard by most who passed by

Giggling splashing over rocks

Fresh and crystal clear

Rushing free

Full of life

On and on and on

If you listen carefully

You can hear its song

The Living Water plays on still

Inviting each anew

Come and drink

Come be clean

Let the Water wash over you

Your first sip or your ninety-first

Each gulp will fill your soul

The Water flows on ever more

Inviting those who will

Pause and listen, can you hear?

“Come” to any who thirst

John 4:13-14 NLT – Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.  But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”

Revelation 22:17 NIV – The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
