Verse 1
  
    C                    F         C 
I came to Jesus, I was thirsty and dry; 
 C                       D7        G 
Nothing could tame this longing of mine. 
  F                    G       C            F 
For a small drink of water is all I would ask, 
                 C        G              C 
But He gave me something He knew would last. 
  
Chorus
  
    G                        C           D 
For up from my soul came a river of life, 
    G                        C 
A spring of salvation that shall never run dry; 
                G            C       F 
This story of mercy is now mine to tell, 
                  C         G           C 
I asked him for water, He gave me the well.

Verse 2
  
       C                       F           C 
It's hard to believe that I'm part of his bride, 
      C                           D            G 
For no-one could ever feel more worthless than I; 
      F               G             C            F 
For years I've been searching for life giving source, 
        F       C         G                C 
But I did not find one 'till I found the Lord. 
  
Chorus
  
     G                       C        D 
For up from my soul came a river of life, 
    G                        C 
A spring of salvation that shall never run dry; 
                G            C      F 
This story of mercy is now mine to tell, 
                  C         G           C 
I asked him for water, He gave me the well.
