Hymn of the week #12

1. All my life long I had panted
   For a draught from some cool spring,
   That I hoped would quench the burning
   Of the thirst I felt within.

2. Chorus: Hallelujah! I have found Him
   Whom my soul so long has craved!
   Jesus satisfies my longings;
   Through His life I now am saved.

3. Feeding on the husks around me,
   Till my strength was almost gone,
   Longed my soul for something better,
   Only still to hunger on.

3. Poor I was, and sought for riches,
   Something that would satisfy,
   But the dust I gathered round me
   Only mocked my soul's sad cry.

4. Well of water, ever springing,
   Bread of life, so rich and free,
   Untold wealth that never faileth,
   My Redeemer is to me.

This is a sweet hymn which means a lot. It's simplicity speaks to it's strength and obvious truth.
As our everything positive in our life, Christ can also be our drink and refreshment. Cool glasses of water on a hot day are enjoyable and so is Christ on a "dry" day. Reading the Bible is refreshment for our soul.
