Lyrics
Father
Let Your living water flow over my soul,
Let your Holy Spirit come and take control,
Of every situation that has troubled my mind,
All my cares and burdens on to you I roll.
Father, Father, Father.
Jesus
Give your life to Jesus, let Him fill your soul,
Let Him take you in His arms and make you whole,
As you give your life to Him, He'll set you free,
You will live and reign with Him eternally.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
Spirit
Come now Holy Spirit and take control,
Hold me in your loving arms and make me whole,
Wipe away all doubt and fear and take my pride,
Draw me to your love and keep me by your side.
Spirit, Spirit, Spirit.
Outro
Let your living water flow over my soul
Let your Holy spirit come and take control,
Of every situation that has troubled my mind,
All my cares and burdens onto you I roll.
Father, Jesus, Spirit

Meaning & Inspiration
The prayerful structure of “Living Waters” moves through the three persons of the Trinity, each stanza turning to a different divine face. The image of living water carries biblical weight, recalling Jesus’ offer of water that becomes a spring of eternal life, and the request for that water to flow “over my soul” is a plea for inner cleansing and renewal. The song then frames the Holy Spirit’s control not as domination but as consolation, asking to be held, made whole, and freed from doubt, fear, and pride. That movement from troubled mind to peace, from self-rule to Spirit-rule, reflects a surrender of every anxious thought and heavy burden. Jesus’ stanza adds an evangelistic note: the life offered to Jesus leads to wholeness, freedom, and eternal fellowship. The closing repetition of Father, Jesus, Spirit draws the whole prayer together, presenting the Trinity as the one source of care, transformation, and lasting hope. In this way, the song is both a personal petition and a compact statement of trust in God’s complete involvement in human life.
