‘Cause I’ve been drinking at the fountain
I’ve been swimming in the sea
Jesus led me to that mountain stream
His love has found a home in me
O yes His love has found a home in me
Fountain fountain
Spring from the earth
So many thirst and cry
Your living waters owe their birth
To One who chose to die
River river flow to the sea
Some may pass you by
But you’ve become a home to me
And I’m no longer living dry
I’m no longer living dry
Water water flow through my heart
So many souls are dry
Lead me on from ankle deep
To bathe in the ocean wide
Mountain mountain reach to the sky
Holy hands are raised
Before the Father’s throne we bow
In wonder love and praise
In wonder love and praise
