RIVERS OF LIVING WATER

RIVERS OF LIVING WATER

The thirst of the soul is a disturbing experience,
Barrenness is everywhere offering defiance.
Nothing seems to be able to slake this thirst,
Until the soul discovers what Jesus said at first.

“He who believes in Me…” Jesus cried out one day,
He knew that unbelief was the cause of spiritual decay.
Not many had truly come to believe in the words He preached,
Few appreciated the Kingdom of God enough, their hands to reach.

There was much more to faith than the crowds realized,
Few comprehended the scope of this great prize.
“Rivers of living water…” This was what the prophets foretold,
Jesus said that faith will see fulfilled, this prophecy of old.

The wilderness of life would be filled with rivers strong,
The barren fields would yield their fruits ere long.
The image of rivers of living water truly excites,
The Spirit of the Lord will fill us with great delight!
John 7:37-39
