Today... 'Fountain Of Living Waters' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Fountain Of Living Waters'



Come and see the crimson flood flowing free
from the cross on the hill of Calvary.
Blood that has flowed from Emmanuel's veins
to wash away all of our sinful stains.

I will not forsake this deep cleansing flow
for it can wash me whiter than the snow.
To the Fountain of Living Water I'll flee
and come for forgiveness at Calvary.

So let's all fear God and shun the evil.
Flee from the temptations of the devil.
But when we sin in repentance we can cry
'Lord wash me in Your blood or I shall die.'

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Jeremiah 2: 13
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Jeremiah 17: 13
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.


The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Fountain of Living Water'
