Springs of Water

Recently as we returned home, we took a side journey in Aguacatán to the Fuente San José, the wellspring of the River San José.  It was amazing to see the bubbling up from deep inside the earth the beginning of the great and mighty river.

Isaiah 12:3
"Therefore you will joyously draw water
from the springs of salvation."

Revelation 21:6
"Then He said to me, 'It is done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the end.
I will give to the one who thirsts
from the spring of water of life
without cost.'"

John 4:14
"...but whoever drinks of the water
that I will give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I will give him
will become in him a well of water
springing up to eternal life."

I am reminded of the old Gospel song,
Springs of Living Water,
by John W. Peterson.

I thirsted in the barren land of sin and shame,
And nothing satisfying there I found;
But to the blessed cross of Christ one day I came,
Where springs of living water did abound.

Drinking at the springs of living water,
Happy now am I, my soul they satisfy;
Drinking at the springs of living water,
O wonderful and bountiful supply.

How sweet the living water from the hills of God,
It makes me glad and happy all the way
Now glory, grace and blessing mark the path I've trod,
I'm shouting Hallelujah every day.

Drinking at the springs of living water,
Happy now am I, my soul they satisfy;
Drinking at the springs of living water,
O wonderful and bountiful supply.

O sinner, won't you come today to Calvary?
A fountain there is flowing deep and wide;
The Savior now invites you to the water free,
Where thisting spirits can be satisfied.

Drinking at the springs of living water,
Happy now am I, my soul they satisfy;
Drinking at the springs of living water,
O wonderful and bountiful supply.

Seek the Lord while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the Lord,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6,7
