Michael W. Smith -- Water of Life

Best song by Michael W. Smith: : “I Can Hear Your Voice,” in his Worship Again album.

The words of the song touch me deeply.

I’m in the river that flows from Your throne,
Water of life, water of life.
It covers me and I breathe again;
Your love is breath to my soul.
I can hear Your voice as You sing over me.
It’s Your song of love, breathing life into me.
I can feel Your touch as I come close to You.
And it heals my heart. You restore and renew.

It’s kind of a paradox—the living water that flows from the throne of God gives life, restores breath. The Bible tells us about a vision Ezekiel had (Ch. 47) of water flowing from under the temple. It started out as a small, ankle-deep stream, but it grew and grew until it became “a river that no once could cross.” Eventually, he saw “a great number of trees on each side of the river”; the man told him that when it emptied into the sea, it became fresh water. “Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows.”
