<\/iframe><\/p>\nThis song emerged out of the intersection of two of my book projects. I shared it at the end of a service I led and preached in, the sermon text being the story of the Samaritan Woman. I plan to share a video of the sermon followed by the song recorded during the service. But in the meantime, here is a recording of rehearsing the song. The lyrics are included below.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nCome Where The Healing Waters Flow<\/strong> \nMusic and Lyrics by James F. McGrath \u00a9 2019<\/p>\nVERSE 1 \nThere is a temple \nnot made with human hands \nThere is a river \nthat flows throughout the lands<\/p>\nNo need for money \nNo need for goats or blood \nCome to the waters \nWash in the cleansing flood<\/p>\nCHORUS \nCome where the healing waters flow \nCome wash in them and you can know \nForgiveness, forgiveness \n(repeat)<\/p>\nVerse 2 \nNot on this mountain \nnor in Jerusalem \nThere in God\u2019s Kingdom \nthere is no us and them<\/p>\nNo country borders \nIts gates don\u2019t close by night \nThere all are welcomed \nby God\u2019s eternal light<\/p>\nCHORUS \nCome where the healing waters flow \nCome wash in them and you can know \nForgiveness, forgiveness \n(repeat)<\/p>\n<blockquote>Bridge \nCome be an offering, royal priesthood \nTabernacle \u2013 we begin to see \nThat as we seek the face of God \nThe holy place God wants to dwell is you and me<\/p>\nAnd as we look around us now \nAnd as we lift up holy hands \nAnd as we look around us now \nDo we at last begin to see?<\/p>\nAnd as we look at one another \nAnd we glimpse the face of God \nAnd as we lift up holy hands \nAt last begin to understand<\/p>\nWe are an offering, royal priesthood, \nTabernacle \u2013 tell me what you see \nNow as we seek the face of God \nThe holy place God wants to dwell is you and me<\/p><\/blockquote>\nVerse 3 \nThere is a city \nAdorned with precious stones \nThey\u2019re just a symbol \nGod dwells in flesh and bone \nCome to the waters \nWash in the cleansing flood \nBecome God\u2019s temple \nA house of flesh and blood<\/p>\nCHORUS \nCome where the healing waters flow \nCome wash in them and you can know \nForgiveness, forgiveness \n(repeat)<\/p>\nCome where the healing waters flow \nCome wash in them and you will know \nForgiveness, forgiveness \n(repeat)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This song emerged out of the intersection of two of my book projects.
