You won't let me wither
You won't let me fade
When I'm thirsty and faint
You provide me with Shade
And Living waters so deep
So cool and so blue
Whenever I stray
I am called back by You
Conquer when I am weak
Protect me in this War
I cannot face it alone
Yet you always go before
As you were crucified for all
My Savior you felt such pain
Then you laid down your life
And took it up again
You won't let me wither
You want me to care
For this broken body and spirit
So the vine it is there
I should not neglect it
You have commanded my path
To be narrow but true
And see Love and not wrath
This thorn in my side
Will you take it away?
Yet you won't let me Wither
And what shall I say?
Take my anger, my fear, my hurt and my pain
Take my guilt and my sorrows
And wash them with rain
So I never shall wither
Yet grow in your Light
And bear fruit that is good
And do what is right...
You won't let me fade
When I'm thirsty and faint

And Living waters so deep

I cannot face it alone
Yet you always go before
As you were crucified for all
