  • Are You not a fountain? (let a drop fall here for me)

    Are You not a fountain?
    my soul is thirsting
    panting
    yearning
    I'm dying
    You've promised
    living water
    (haven't You?)
    where is that living water?
    where are You?
    I've got nothing to draw with
    I've got nothing
    asking You here for but a drop
    a single drop
    Are You not a fountain?
    Are You not my Father?
    Am I not Your child?
    be merciful to me
    for Jesus' sake
    let a drop fall here for me
    a single drop
    You are my Father
    You Son opened the way into the holy of holies
    He told me to ask You for my daily bread
    Can I not also ask for my daily drink?
    be merciful to me
    for Jesus' sake
    if You poured out His blood for me on Calvary
    will You not let a drop fall here for me today
    a single drop
    let a drop fall here for me
    do not forsake me, O my God
    Lead me to your living waters
    wipe away my thirst

    Are You not a fountain?
    my soul is weeping
    tossing
    churning
    I'm crying
    You're promised
    still waters
    (haven't You?)
    where are those still waters?
    where are You?
    I've got nothing to draw with
    I've got nothing
    asking You here for but a drop
    a single drop
    Are You not a fountain?
    Are You not my Father?
    Am I not Your child?
    be merciful to me
    for Jesus' sake
    let a drop fall here for me
    a single drop
    You are my Father
    You Son opened the way into the holy of holies
    He told me to ask You for my daily bread
    Can I not also ask for my daily drink?
    be merciful to me
    for Jesus' sake
    if You poured out His blood for me on Calvary
    will You not let a drop fall here for me today
    a single drop
    let a drop fall here for me
    do not forsake me, O my God
    Lead me to Your still waters
    wipe away my tears

  • His provision is lavish and dispensed so gracefully and mercifully. I am always amazed that Jesus urged us to simply 'ask.' It is incredible that one drop of God's oceans of grace could quench our thirst in a way so satisfying that words would be inadequate to describe the act and feelings following.

    Have a blessed week, Karen

  • I thirst because I do not drink,
    I do not drink because I doubt,
    Lord grant me the enduring faith to believe.

    I fail because I do not show mercy,
    Yet my Lord is ever merciful,
    The inability to be merciful,
    shows that I am not fully reborn.

    I can wipe the tears of sorrow away,
    I can rejoice with the Lord everyday,
    I can be with the Lord everyday,
    If I can determine myself to be reborn right away.

  • @ANVRSADDAY - Amen. Wonderful comment. Thank you so much.

    I am always amazed that Jesus urged us to simply 'ask.'

    Oh, yes! Amazing! :)

  • @PPhilip - The rebirth and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is a one-time event, yet we are still growing and maturing in Christ, i.e.- we are working out our salvation w/ fear & trembling (Phil. 2:12-13). As you say, God alone grants us the enduring faith to believe and to persevere; we have no faith in and of ourselves. Praise God for his manifold mercies to us in Christ!

    Christ's blessings,
    Karen
