John 4:14
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

I'm building my house, down by the riverside.
There the cool waters flow, both day and night.
When I'm thirsty I walk, down by the riverside.
Then I take a drink, to my heart's delight.

Chorus

There's plenty of room, down by the riverside.
There the cool waters flow, both day and night.
You can build next to me, down by the riverside.
Then we'll take a drink to our heart's delight.

Chorus

If you are weary and you don't know where to go,
To quench the thirsting in your soul,
Come to the river, let it's healing waters flow
Into your heart and make you whole.

There's plenty of room, down by the riverside.
There the cool waters flow, both day and night.
You can build next to me, down by the riverside.
Then we'll take a drink to our heart's delight.

Chorus

We're not thirsty anymore,
We're not thirsty anymore,
Now we drink from the waters of life.
We're not thirsty anymore,
We're not thirsty anymore,
Now we drink to our heart's delight.
Now we drink to our heart's delight!
