I Thirst (Live)

"I Thirst"
Ah, bless you, Glen

One day I came to Him, I was so thirsty
I asked for water, my throat was so dry
He gave me water that I had never dreamed of
But for this water, my Lord had to die

He said, "I thirst", yet He made the rivers
He said, "I thirst", yet He made the sea
"I thirst," said the King of the Ages
In His great thirst, He brought water to me

Now there's a river that flows as clear as crystal
It comes from God's throne above, and listen to this
And like a river, it wells up inside me
Bringing mercy, and life-giving love

He said, "I thirst", yet He made the rivers, thank you
He said, "I thirst", yet He made the sea
"I thirst", said the King of the Ages
In His great thirst, He brought water to me

Ernie, sing the closer
(Oh, He said, "I thirst")
Yet He made the rivers (yet He made the rivers)
One day, my Savior hung up on a cross and He said, "I thirst"
(He said "I thirst")
Yet He made the sea (yet he made the sea)
And I thank you, Lord, for what you did for me (ah)
"I thirst, " said the King of the Ages
In His great thirst, He brought water to me, thank God for that
Yes, in His great thirst, He brought water to me (cool water)
Cool water

Ah, thank God!
I'm not a saint, and my tears, they're not tears of sorrow
They're tears of joy and happiness and thankfulness
And I'm not a saint, I heard a man say one time "When the eyes leak, the head won't swell"
I'm glad I can cry

I think you can look up here tonight and say, and tell this has been such a fun night for the Cathedrals
Thank you for being such a wonderful audience, thank you
Hey, put your - put your bass off, come here
Let's just do a - I don't know what we're gonna do right here, uh
One-one-one-one that you feel comfortable, one you -

Be quiet!
There's no way we could get all the requests, but there's some I feel like I wanna do here
Have we done, uh, "Because He Lives", you - we never have done it with you guys
But we can - you know, you know, uh
Years ago, you used to sing "Because He Lives"
Do-do a verse of that, just for me
