Once I thirsted for a fountain

Once I thirsted for a fountain

Something deep that would satisfy

But the fountain that I’d drink from

Left me searching and still so dry.

Then one day I found Him

He satisfied my thirst

Became in me a deeper source

Whence living waters burst.

Now I drink Him!

Jesus

Jesus is my life now

Jesus

Jesus is my life;

I’m fully satisfied now

Jesus

Jesus is my life.

After tasting such a fountain

Longed my heart for a place of springs;

Caught a vision on a mountain

In Jerusalem’s a gathering.

Then one day He found me

He brought me to the church

Pleasures here abound fore’er

I’ve given up my search.

Hallelujah!

Empty wanderer drop the striving—

Isn’t worth all the troublin’;

Open up your heart believing

Call “Lord Jesus” and He’ll come in!

Then today you’ll find Him

And calling on His name

You’re joined to Him

you’re one with Him—

You’ll never be the same.

You won’t want to!
