Like a wanderer in the desert
My life was parched and dry
I knew I'd lost the way
But I still kept on running
Searching for the green oasis
Through mirages in my mind
My heart could feel the footprints
Of a man who'd gone before
But followed only those I could see
And soon their paths were fading
In the shifting desert sands
I thought for sure the end was facing me
Like cold water to a weary soul
So is the Good News from a distant land
I found the source of the living water above
Just one drink of Jesus love
A man reached down to save me
And took me by the hand
He said, I am the Way
The truth, the life you're seeking
I'll lead you to the green oasis in the promised land
I took a drink of the life He offered
And my heart began to change
A well of water had sprung up in me
I knew the cost of running
And the search had been in vain
I saw the living water was for free
