1. I thirsted in the barren land of Babylon
  And nothing satisfying there I found;
  But to the blessed local church one day I came,
  Where springs of living water do abound.
(Chorus:)
  Drinking at the springs of living water,
  Happy now am I,
  My heart they satisfy;
  Drinking at the springs of living water,
  O wonderful and bountiful supply!
2. How sweet the living water from the hills of God,
  It's flowing in and flowing out of me;
  O now I've found the place for which I long had sought,
  Where there is life and life abundantly.
3. O brother, won't you gather in the local church?
  A fountain here is flowing deep and wide.
  The Shepherd now would bring you to the local church,
  Where thirsty spirits can be satisfied.
(Chorus:)
  Drinking at the springs of living water,
  Happy now am I,
  My heart they satisfy;
  Drinking at the springs of living water,
  O wonderful and bountiful supply!
