"Quench"

My life is a desert
Bitter sands,
  cracked lands
I’m dry, empty,
  parched
My thirst runs deep
Nothing keeps
My thirst runs deep
There is no water here, but

Jesus, You quench!
You offer me living water
Jesus, You quench!
You promise a ne’er-ending supply
Jesus, You quench!

Water from the Rock
  is where I’ve placed my stock
You said I’ll never thirst again
Jesus, You quench!

You satisfy in a way that
  nothing else can
Fill me, Lord Jesus
  and I will overflow

Your lovingkindness, Jesus,
  is better than life
Here there is no water, but
  You, Jesus, You satisfy!

Your water is clear
  and cold
  and refreshing,
  moistening my soul
  and strengthening my life
Pour into me, Jesus!
I need you!
You, Jesus, You quench!

I set my heart on You;
let me be Your vessel
Fill me, Lord Jesus
  and I will overflow
You, Jesus, You quench!

Your words are
  medicine to my body
  and water to my bones
Living Water,
Jesus, You quench!

You satisfy my soul
  to a degree unknown
I praise you Lord!
Jesus, You quench!
