Lyrics
Intro
Water of Life, what if I said I was thirsty?
Bread of Life, what if I said I was hungry?
Would You pour Your Spirit on me, Lord?
Would Your glory fall,
Like the waters fill the sea?
Verse 1
Living Water, cover me
Flood my heart with every single beat
All You are, is all I'll ever need,
I love You! I love You!
Pre-Chorus
Author of Life, speak Your Word so I,
Can hear You
Father of Life, all I want is to, be near You
Would You pour Your Spirit on me, Lord?
Would Your glory fall,
Like the waters fill the sea?
Verse 2
Oh Jesus, fill this room!
Every heart is crying out to You!
Desperately we need to see You move!
We love You! We love You!
Bridge
Pour Your glory down,
Pour Your glory down
Pour Your glory down,
Let the thirsty, drink and live

Meaning & Inspiration
Living Water is a prayer for the Spirit of God to fill both the singer and the gathered room. The opening names Jesus as the Water of Life and the Bread of Life, asking what would happen if the singer admitted thirst and hunger, and then asks God to pour out His Spirit and let His glory fall as the waters cover the sea. The verse asks the Living Water to cover and flood the heart, saying all that He is, is all that is needed.
The next part calls Him the Author of Life and asks to hear His word and be near Him, and the second verse asks Jesus to fill the room because every heart is crying out for Him. The bridge repeats the plea to pour out His glory so the thirsty may drink and live. The themes follow John 4:14, John 6:35 and Habakkuk 2:14. The slow, repeated bridge gives the song a hungry, expectant tone for congregational worship.
