Thanksgiving for the Thirst

"As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country" (Proverbs 25:25).

God has given such good news
To satisfy the thirsty soul!
The longing that our heart pursues,
The Savior quenches to the full.

Thank You, Lord, for giving thirst,
That aching emptiness inside,
That made us seek, yet find that first
You sought for us and for us died.

Hallelujah! What a find!
The Savior for this purpose came:
To satisfy this thirst designed
To stir our souls to trust His name.

The Lord alone can satisfy
Our souls within this world's drought.
All other springs but Him are dry
Within this desert land of doubt.

Thank You for the thirst You gave,
O Lord, to seek You for salvation
And for the price You paid to save
Our guilty souls from condemnation!
