Whom have we, Lord, but Thee,
Soul-thirst to satisfy?
Exhaustless spring! The waters free!
All other streams are dry.
Our hearts by Thee are set
On brighter things above;
Strange that we ever should forget
Thine own most faithful love.
Yet oft we credit not
He freely gives as God,
Though well we know our happy lot
In trusting to His blood.
None like the ransomed host
That precious blood have known;
Redemption gives faith's holy boast
To draw so near the throne.
Higher and higher yet!
Pleading that same life blood;
We taste the love that knows no let,
Of Abba, as of God.

I love that first picture... and such a beautiful hymn. The line that strikes me in this the most is: "Exhaustless spring, the water's free, all other streams are dry..." My thoughts: NOTHING else has ANYTHING for us. He'll have what we need, and never run out. It's completely free for our taking, and we can take as much as we want. But, you have to go to the spring... why do I forget to do that?! Thank you for this... I love your posts. :-)
