53. I thirsted in the barren land

1. I thirsted in the barren land of sin and shame,

   And nothing satisfying there I found;

   But to the blessed cross of Christ one day I came

   Where springs of living water did abound.

   Drinking at the springs of living water,

   Happy now am I,

   My soul they satisfy;

   Drinking at the springs of living water,

   O wonderful and bountiful supply!

2. How sweet the living water from the hills of God,

   It makes me glad and happy all the way;

   Now glory, grace and blessing mark the path I've trod,

   I'm shouting "Hallelujah" every day.
