With cupped hands I come to drink
With open heart I come to be filled
O Jesus fountain of life
Fill my cup let love flow through me
I lift my face to the Lord
I see the love that shines in His eyes
O Jesus light of the world
Fill my cup let light shine through me
Resting on the promise of Your word
I have life I have life
Resting in the sunshine of Your love
I have light I have joy I have peace
I have all this thirsty heart of mine could need
I come with a heart filled with praise
Your grace is all sufficient for me
O Jesus Word of God
Come to dwell
Let Your life flow through me
Resting on the promise of Your word
You give life You give life
Resting in the sunshine of Your love
You give hope You give faith You give peace
You give all this thirsty world of ours could need
