SongtexteI Saw Water Flowing

There was new life I saw water flowing Flowing from the side of the temple And where the water flowed There was new life When your hour had come and they Pierced you lord, Blood and water flowed Forth from your side With great love you Gave yourself for us Who can tell the great love By which you brought your Church to birth I saw water flowing Flowing from the side of the temple And where the water flowed There was new life Come to Christ the Lord The living stone Rejected once, but now the cornerstone Joined to him, We are Gods dwelling place Priestly people and instruments of God's Redeeming grace I saw water flowing Flowing from the side of the temple And where the water flowed There was new life May the house of prayer Be a home to all May the love Christ reign within these Walls, so the ones who knock find Welcome here and all those Who are thirsting Receive living water here I saw water flowing Flowing from the side of the temple And where the water flowed There was new life
