Send Down Your Healing Water

The chorus came to me in Friend's Meeting many years ago, the verses didn't show up 'til quite a bit later. I've adopted a traditional African American melody with the inspired helped of Tia Ade and Elise Witt.

    Send down your healing water
    Send down your living water
    Send down your healing water
    We are a thirsty people

Sent your children manna in the wilderness
Spring forth, o healing water
Made the rock gush water to quench their thirst
Spring forth, o living water

We're shipwrecked souls on the salty seas
Spring forth, o healing water
Surrounded by water, not a drop to drink
Spring forth, o living water

Sometimes in this ol' world
Spring forth, o healing water
I forget your Spirit's in my very soul
Spring forth, o living water
