WHERE WATERS FLOW

Empty and tired my heart longs for rest
All that this world gives is promise at best
Is there a well for this soul thirsty heart...

Flowing with joy that will never depart?


Trying so hard for approval from men
Working and striving my pride to defend
Leaving me empty, depressed and alone
Seeking for freedom my soul to atone.


Jesus the Fountain, the Wellspring of life
Oh how my heart longs for freedom from strife
Springs welling up is the promise You make
Thirsty I drink let me always partake.


REFRAIN
Jesus, I come to this Fountain today
Quench the deep thirst in my spirit, I pray
May the sweet springs from your infinite love
Flow from within as I drink from above.

MY HEART'S PRAYER

"Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
O tear it thence, and reign alone
The Lord of every motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free
When it has found repose in Thee!"

"YESTERDAY,
I BUNDLED UP MY PROBLEMS
WRAPPED THEM
TIED THEM WITH TWINE
AND HANDED THEM TO YOU, LORD!

THEN I TRIPPED
OVER THE STRING
I WAS STILL CLUTCHING.

TODAY,
YOU CAN SEE
THERE ARE NO STRINGS
ATTACHED!"
