[Intro]
[Verse]
My two cupped hands the water hold
Until through fingers seeps its way
A moment’s thought if I be bold
See in the liquid truth this day
[Verse]
In rain and vapour - body too
Around us all if we could see
But seeing holding keeping you
Demands an unknown part of me
[Chorus]
Pure water is our only balm
To quicken every purpose d**d
And if we by our will can charm
Our hearts may master every head
[Verse]
In arid days of thirst and doubt
When gentle sips are all we need
The vessel pours but dust without
And leaves all chaff and wheat to feed
[Verse]
By thirsty work do many lose
The grip and grasp of three small tasks
For truth will ask each man to chose
To meet each one and never ask
[Chorus]
Pure water is our only balm
To quicken every purpose d**d
And if we by our will can charm
Our hearts may master every head
[Verse]
To know the nature of your God
By word and thought all silent reap
To know oneself how firm the rod
By new endeavor all to keep
[Verse]
And when you have one droplet forged
That rests alone in chaliced palm
Think on the bounty needless gorged
And fuse the three in sacred calm
[Chorus]
Pure water is our only balm
To quicken every purpose d**d
And if we by our will can charm
Our hearts may master every head
[Break]
[Chorus]
Pure water is our only balm
To quicken every purpose d**d
And if we by our will can charm
Our hearts may master every head
[Verse]
To know the nature of your God
By word and thought all silent reap
To know oneself how firm the rod
By new endeavor all to keep
[Verse]
And when you have one droplet forged
That rests alone in chaliced palm
Think on the bounty needless gorged
And fuse the three in sacred calm
[Chorus]
Pure water is our only balm
To quicken every purpose d**d
And if we by our will can charm
Our hearts may master every head
