Many within the church of today have forsaken the Lord Jesus
Christ. They may have a form of godliness, and they may even be fully involved
in religious activities, but they deny and reject Jesus Christ by their
lifestyles. They have even made idols for themselves in the form of public
figures, sports, TV, games, possessions, houses, cars, careers, personal
intellect and appearance, leisure activities, entertainment, and/or sinful
pleasures, etc. And, so Jesus Christ is barely on their radar, forgotten altogether,
or else he gets only an occasional passing nod here and there.
They run their own lives, and don’t inquire of the Lord or
submit to his will for their lives unless they are in trouble, and then they
expect him to come through for them. They have forgotten the Living Water which
springs up like a fountain within those who believe in Jesus as Lord and
Savior, and they have chased after what can never satisfy. Some of them may
have never truly trusted Jesus Christ with their lives, while others have, but
have since wandered away and have gone after the things of this world. So,
Jesus is calling for them to turn from their sin and their idols, and to
surrender their all to Him.
Living Water / An
Original Work / November 21, 2013
Based off Various Scriptures
My people have forsaken Me,
Their Savior, who died on a tree;
Made idols, and they worshipped them;
So empty, they will ne’er fulfill.
Lord, You are the hope of Your chosen ones.
Those who turn away from You will be shamed;
The Spring of Living Water left behind.
Living Water satisfies.
The thirsty, let them come and drink;
Believe in Jesus as their King;
The gift of Jesus given them,
So they will never thirst again.
Indeed, the Living Water flows within.
It springs up like a fountain cleansing sin.
Eternal life in heaven promised them.
Living Water glorifies.
Oh people, won’t you come to Him?
Obey Him and repent of sin.
Let Jesus come and live within.
Surrender all your life to Him.
My people, won’t you turn your hearts to Me?
Forsake your idols and then you’ll be free.
Won’t you come now to Me on bended knee?
Living Water sanctifies.
