Water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:1
Words: Ina D. Ogdon, in The Century Gospel Songs, by Peter Bilhorn (Chicago, Illinois: Bilhorn Brothers, 1901).
Music: Peter P. Bilhorn (🔊 pdf nwc).
I’ve cast my heavy burdens down
On Canaan’s happy shore,
I’m living where the healing waters flow;
I’ll wander in the wilderness
Of doubt and sin no more;
I’m living where the healing waters flow.
Refrain
Living on the shore,
I’m living on the shore,
I’m living where the healing waters flow;
Living on the shore,
I’m living on the shore,
I’m living where the healing waters flow.
With Israel’s trusting children
I’m rejoicing on my way,
I’m living where the healing waters flow;
The cloudy fiery pillar
Is my guiding light today;
I’m living where the healing waters flow.
Refrain
My hungering soul is satisfied
With manna from above,
I’m living where the healing waters flow;
No more I thirst, the rock I’ve found,
That fount of endless love;
I’m living where the healing waters flow.
Refrain
I’m singing Hallelujah,
Safely anchored in my soul,
I’m living where the healing waters flow;
I’m resting on His promises;
The blood has made me whole;
I’m living where the healing waters flow.
Refrain
