Verse 1: I know the sand is hot; it’s true the desert’s dry But just staring in the wind won’t reveal the reason why For there’s a spirit on the breeze; there’s a voice heard on the wind There’s a cloud up in the sky; and the rain is coming in Verse 2: By the rivers of Babylon we left our harps to hang Strangers in a strange land; we found we couldn’t sing Now we’re out here in the desert; it’s been a while since Jordan flowed But I’m following a whisper, and heard a mighty wind blow Chorus: Living water; living water Living water; come and water these desert sands Living water; living water Rain down a river on the land Verse 3: It’ll make the desert bloom; make those sands a flower bed With the breathing of the wind, it’ll wake the living dead It’s a land that’s bursting wildly like a calf out of the stall Looks like promised milk and honey to those who heed the call Verse 4: It’s a river flowing mighty; it’s a river flowing deep And there’s healing waters stirring with those tears that we weep Yeah, the river may be muddier than seven sparkling in the sun But you know there ain’t no healing found in any other one
