“Living water, flow through me
My world is waiting, to drink from you
Your healing rain, let it flow
Touching everyone that hears the sound”
This stanza speaks of the concept of “living water,” which symbolizes spiritual nourishment and healing.
In the Bible, Jesus referred to himself as the source of living water in John 4:14 when he spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well: “but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.
Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The idea of healing rain flowing and touching everyone echoes the imagery of God’s grace and mercy reaching out to all who seek it.
“Drink from the Living water
Drink and thirst no more, hey
Swim in the Living water
And everything is alright”
This stanza reflects the promise of satisfaction and contentment found in Jesus, the Living Water. In John 7:37-38, Jesus said, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
This verse emphasizes that those who partake of the living water will find fulfillment and will no longer thirst spiritually.
“There’s healing in the water
Joy like a river
There’s hope in the water,
peace in the water,
everything you need”
Here, the lyrics emphasize the multifaceted blessings found in the living water. The mention of healing, joy, hope, and peace correlates with various passages throughout the Bible.
For example, Isaiah 53:5 speaks of healing: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
Additionally, Romans 15:13 speaks of joy and hope: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
“Can you hear the sound, of many waters?
Swim in the living water
Jesus is the Living water
Would you drink from the living water?
Take your healing from the living water”
This final stanza reinforces the invitation to partake of the living water and receive its abundant blessings.
The imagery of the sound of many waters echoes Revelation 1:15, where it describes Jesus’ voice as “the sound of rushing waters.” This stanza emphasizes Jesus as the ultimate source of spiritual nourishment and healing.
