Erica Marshall’s songs sneak up on you but are always worthwhile. This one, from the AOV digital archive, has various uses in Lent.
You can purchase the sheet music at Willow, where you can hear her version of the song.
For once my backing strips the music down to a more basic sound.
1 In our thirsting we have come, drinking deep of your abundance.
With the water that you give, we will never thirst again.
Springs will freely flow, more than we could know.
With the water you can give, we will never thirst again.
2 In our darkness, we have come, walking into light and beauty.
With the clear sight that you give, we will not be blind again.
Open to the light! Darkness turning bright!
With the light that you can give, we will not be blind again.
3 In our lives, so bound and tight, let us walk into new freedom.
With the new life that you give, we will never die again.
Roll the stone away! We can live today!
With the life that you can give, we will never die again.
