thirst

John 7:37 On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, 

“Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! 

38 Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! 

For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (NLT)


Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsts, 

come you to the waters, 

and he that has no money; 

come you, buy, and eat; 

yea, come, 

buy wine and milk without money and without price. (KJV)

Ho! every one that is thirsty in spirit,
Ho! every one that is weary and sad;
Come to the fountain, there’s fullness in Jesus,
All that you’re longing for: come and be glad!

Refrain

I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
Open your hearts for the gifts I am bringing;
While ye are seeking Me, I will be found.

Child of the world, are you tired of your bondage?
Weary of earth joys, so false, so untrue?
Thirsting for God and His fullness of blessing?
List to the promise, a message for you!

Refrain

I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
Open your hearts for the gifts I am bringing;
While ye are seeking Me, I will be found.

Child of the kingdom, be filled with the Spirit!
Nothing but fullness thy longing can meet;
’Tis the enduement for life and for service;
Thine is the promise, so certain, so sweet.

Refrain

I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
Open your hearts for the gifts I am bringing;
While ye are seeking Me, I will be found.
