I heard the sound of water, bubbling from a spring Cool and sweet refreshment I hoped it would bring Someone told me it was near, in faith I went to look It was love that led me to quench my thirst at yonder brook
Faith, hope and love–a threefold cord entwined together Not so easily broke, by pressure, time or weather One springs from the other to refresh the weary soul Coming from the heart of God to heal and make me whole
I’ll sink my roots in the Word of truth and draw near to God Bearing fruit and good works in His fertile sod Faith and love that springs from hope will water precious seeds Bringing forth a harvest to satisfy my needs

Colossians 1:5–6 – “….the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel 6 that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.” John 4:10-14 – “Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Colossians 1:3–14 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3, 5:8
