Lyrics
Verse 1
Water in the desert
Oasis in the wilderness
You're the living water
Rushing like a river
Like a flood, let it flow
Let the current take over
Like a flood, let it flow
Let it flow
Chorus
I will never thirst again
Drinking from Your fountain
Holy Spirit, draw me in
Into wells unending
Deeper into Your presence
Further into Your fullness
Living water rushing in
And I'll never thirst again
Verse 2
I have seen Your glory
I have tasted goodness
I'm finding in Your mercy
There's nothing You're withholding
Like a flood, let it flow
Let the current take over
Like a flood, let it flow
Let it flow
Chorus (Repeat)
Bridge (Repeat x2)
You are hope, You are life
You alone satisfy
Freely You pour out
Freely we receive
You are always enough
You alone fill my cup
Freely You pour out
Freely we receive
Chorus (Repeat x2)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Never Thirst Again" opens with desert imagery, water found in dry wilderness, before naming God directly as that same living water rushing like a river. That image, thirst answered by water identified with God himself, frames the entire song's central request around ongoing satisfaction rather than momentary relief.
Its chorus repeats a promise borrowed directly from a well-known conversation Jesus had at a well, never thirsting again after drinking from a source described as unending rather than finite. A later bridge names that same source as sufficient in itself, freely poured out and freely received, describing God as always enough to fill what the song calls an otherwise empty cup.
Rooted in contemporary worship's Holy Spirit invocation tradition, the song functions as an extended request for ongoing spiritual satisfaction, its repeated chorus treating deeper access into God's presence as the specific means by which lasting thirst is permanently resolved.
