Verse 1:
Thought I could go it alone, thought I could be different
But I’m just another soul that’s walkin’ vacant
I’m just a barren bucket at a well
I beg You, don’t leave me empty
Verse 2:
Life has a bitter ring, it leaves me fractured
Far more than I could ever imagine
Just when my heart is full, water slips through a crack
and slow leaks until it’s empty
Chorus:
I walk a desert road
Come with eyes that carry life
And oh Lord, give me sweet water
That will never run dry
Verse 3:
Be still my busy bones ’cause every hour
Is simply a mocking man screaming as you wither
Linger in River Rest, you’ve outdrawn yourself again
I beg you, don’t leave here empty
Chorus:
I walk a desert road
Come with eyes that carry life
And oh Lord, give me sweet water
That will never run dry
Bridge:
Yes I confess that the hurry kills me
It drains me blind to Your beauty
It makes me numb to Your arms of mercy
It makes me look like a madman
Come with rest ’cause the hurry kills me
It drains me blind to Your beauty
It makes me numb to Your arms of mercy
It makes look like a madman
And makes You look like mirages
Chorus:
I walk a desert road
Come with eyes that carry life
And oh Lord, give me sweet water
That will never run dry
