Anne Wilson – Living Water LYRICS
This goes out to every outcast
To the just don’t quite fit in
Every wrong way runaway rebel
So ashamed of where you’ve been
This goes out to every searcher
Trying to fill that empty space
Well, you’re searching days are over now
Everything’s about to change
Come on down to the living water
Waves of mercy washing over you
No more strangers only sons and daughters
Come down to the living water
And rise up new
Have you heard about a man named Jesus
He’s the way, the truth, the life
Stretched out his arms on a rugged cross
And paid every sinner’s price
So when you’re tired of all your running
You don’t have to run no more
You can leave it all behind you
Just believe and be reborn
Oh, this is your invitation
Oh, no more lost and alone
Oh, this is your invitation
Hear your Father saying
Welcome home
See that cross up on the steeple
Hear that sweet forgiveness song
Come and join the Jesus people
This is where your heart belongs
