about

Here's a song for my friend Jarvis who is preparing for the camping season to begin at Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp in Colorado. There at a high altitude, he's created a place for young counselors and staff to grow up in many wonderful ways. He'll be spending time this week starting the process: to grow like the aspen trees all around them. He wanted a song about water, which the aspen so badly need to grow. I'm pitching in with Number 21.

lyrics

Number Twenty One, May 24th, 2012

The Living Water

The water, oh the living water
The water that gives us life
How I thirst
How I seek and search
For the water of Christ

See the aspen tree
So high and strong
Making music in the breeze
Stands against the fire
Stands against the wind
I want to be like one of these
Because the root is deep
The root is long
Just long enough to find…

The water, oh the living water
The water that gives us life
How I thirst
How I seek and search
For the water of Christ

There was a woman
Came to the well
With her bucket to draw
She filled her bucket
She filled her soul
With the love she saw
And her well is deep
Her well is pure
Never will run dry…

The water, oh the living water
The water that gives us life
How I thirst
How I seek and search
For the water of Christ

I live on this piece of prairie. I'm passionate and dedicated to writing songs in hopes of singing them for people. I don't think I could continue without both ends of that process. Create then hope. It's here I write songs, and here I wait to sing them for others. ... more
