Still at the Fountain

V5.5

[Instrumental Opening] [Verse 1] She loved the house where praise arose And waited for Your Word She leaned toward every faithful line As thirsty earth is stirred The years had made her strong in hope Her sorrow had made her wise Yet still she came with empty hands And hunger in her eyes [Pre-Chorus] She did not come for polished speech Or praise the speaker’s art She listened for the living stream That reaches to the heart [Chorus] Still at the fountain She hung upon each word Through lips of one who served Your Church Your living truth was heard Still at the fountain Still humble, still made new The deeper that she walked in faith The more she thirsted for You [Verse 2] I came at first for eloquence To judge the voice and phrase She came to hear eternal life And drink the gift of grace She loved the servant for the work Your mercy wrought through him Because the son for whom she prayed Was turning home again [Pre-Chorus] She saw beyond the human voice The grace that drew me near And loved the servant for the light That made the pathway clear [Chorus] Still at the fountain She hung upon each word Through lips of one who served Your Church Your living truth was heard Still at the fountain Still humble, still made new The deeper that she walked in faith The more she thirsted for You [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] O Christ, the spring that cannot fail The Truth no age outgrows No faithful soul becomes too full To drink where mercy flows Keep me as teachable as she Still listening at Your feet For those who taste the life You give Will thirst for waters deep [Final Chorus] Still at the fountain She hung upon each word The servant spoke, but You alone Were life in what she heard Still at the fountain Her years increased desire The more she drank Your grace within The more her heart caught fire [Communal Chorus] We are still at the fountain Still gathered for Your Word Through faithful lips that serve Your Church Your living truth is heard We are still at the fountain Still humble, still made new The deeper that we walk in faith The more we thirst for You [Outro] Still at the fountain Still listening for You Still at the fountain Where every word is new
