VOUS Worship - Living Water Lyrics
Lyrics
Thirsty and tired
Barren and dry
Wilderness of my soul
One thing I've found
Seed in the ground
Just takes some time to grow
I remember in the winter
What you do in the spring
God of every season
Have your way in me
Living water
River flow in me again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Holy Spirit
Come and overflow again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Empty and clean
The vessel you need
Waiting upon you Lord
The oil I have left
I pour it again
Watch as the miracle flows
I remember in the famine
What you do with a seed
God of every harvest
Have your way in me
Living water
River flow in me again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Holy Spirit
Come and overflow again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Living water
River flow in me again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Holy Spirit
Come and overflow again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
BRIDGE
I won't stop waiting
I still believe it
You're not done working
I'm gonna see it
Harvest is coming
God of the season
I'll just keep working
Sowing and reaping
I won't stop waiting
I still believe it
You're not done working
I'm gonna see it
Harvest is coming
God of the season
I'll just keep working
Sowing and reaping
Living water
River flow in me again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Holy Spirit
Come and overflow again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Living water
River flow in me again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up
Holy Spirit
Come and overflow again
Fill me up Lord
Fill me up

Living Water — VOUS Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
VOUS Worship's "Living Water," featured on their 2025 album "Dying To Be Different: Stripped," is a profound exploration of spiritual renewal and dependence on God, resonating deeply with anyone who has experienced seasons of dryness and longing for His presence. The song artfully paints a picture of a soul parched and weary, acknowledging a barrenness that can feel overwhelming. This imagery of a "wilderness of my soul" immediately calls to mind the Israelites' forty years in the desert, a time of immense testing but also a crucible where their reliance on God was forged anew, as recounted in Deuteronomy 8:2-3, where Moses reminds them that God "humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord." The lyrics offer a glint of hope, however, in recognizing "one thing I've found," a "seed in the ground," suggesting that even in desolation, the potential for new life exists, a testament to God's patient work, akin to the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, where the seed represents the word of God and its fruitfulness depends on the soil of our hearts.
The song then gracefully transitions into acknowledging God's unchanging nature through all of life's fluctuating circumstances. The line, "I remember in the winter, what you do in the spring," is a powerful metaphor for trusting God's faithfulness during difficult times, knowing that He is the "God of every season," capable of bringing forth life and beauty even after periods of dormancy. This echoes the sentiment found in Jeremiah 29:11, where God assures His people, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future," plans that encompass all seasons of our lives. The recurring plea, "Living water, river flow in me again, Fill me up Lord, Fill me up, Holy Spirit, Come and overflow again," is the heart of the song's message, a direct invocation for the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit. This is beautifully aligned with Jesus' own words to the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:10, where He says, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." This "living water" is the Holy Spirit, whose presence revitalizes, purifies, and sustains the believer, preventing spiritual thirst and offering an inexhaustible supply of divine grace.
The second verse, speaking of being "empty and clean, The vessel you need, Waiting upon you Lord," speaks to a surrendered disposition, presenting oneself as ready for God's filling. This echoes Romans 12:1, which urges believers to "offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." The offering of the remaining "oil" and the anticipation of a miracle further speaks to a faith that trusts in God's power to multiply and transform even the scant resources we possess, much like the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4, which God miraculously replenished to meet her needs. The shift from "famine" to "harvest" in the second refrain reinforces the theme of God's provision and abundance, reminding us of His ability to turn scarcity into plenty, as He did with the loaves and fishes in Matthew 14:13-21, demonstrating His power to satisfy hunger in extraordinary ways.
The bridge, with its resolute declaration, "I won't stop waiting, I still believe it, You're not done working, I'm gonna see it, Harvest is coming, God of the season, I'll just keep working, Sowing and reaping," is a powerful anthem of persistent faith and diligent obedience. It encapsulates a believer’s steadfast hope in God's continued work in their life and in the world, even when the outcome isn't immediately visible. This commitment to continuing in faith and action mirrors the Apostle Paul's encouragement in Galatians 6:9: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." The repeated affirmation of God as the "God of the season" serves as a constant reminder that His timing and His plans are always perfect, and that His sovereignty extends over every phase of our journey. "Living Water" is not merely a song; it is an invitation to deep spiritual dependence, a declaration of unwavering hope, and a fervent prayer for the Holy Spirit's transformative power to saturate every aspect of our lives.
