“I am continually with Thee… God is the Strength of my heart, and my Portion forever… It is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Thy works” (Psalm 73:23-28). “Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive” (John 7:37-39).
The
Lord is the Strength of my heart,
And
He is my Portion forever.
I
know He will never depart;
His
presence no power can sever.
It’s
good for me now to draw near,
Declaring
the works of His love.
His
love casts away all my fear
And
sets my affections above.
My
Savior now draws me to drink
To
satisfy all of my thirst.
My
heart is amazed as I think
That
He set His love on me first!
I
draw from the well of salvation;
I
drink from the fountain in Christ,
Astonished
by this declaration:
FOR
ME was my Lord sacrificed!
He
gave to me also His Spirit
As
rivers of water which flow,
With
Good News for those who will hear it,
Declaring
the truth that I know.
O
Lord, by Your Spirit I’m drawn
To
drink from Your thirst-quenching well.
The
sins that condemned me are gone;
You
died to redeem me from hell.
Lord,
send me to tell others too
Who
thirst for the truth You have shown
As
You draw their hearts now to You
To
drink as You make Yourself known.
