Waiting On the Water Lyrics by Cumberland Quartet

New Ship Sailing

0

There was a pool called Bethesda
And a man who was lame
It was a story of failure
And how healing never came
'Til the day he met the Savior
And Jesus said, "Take up your bed"
Then, by faith, the cripple rose up
Turned to everyone and said
I'm not waiting on the water
My soul is reaching out to Jesus
In Him I know there's healing power
To deliver the restore
My faith is ready and I'm willing
The time has come for something more
I'm not waiting on the water
I'm reaching out to touch the Lord
Just like that man at Bethesda
I had a spirit that was lame
I'd been waiting on a blessing
But my blessing never came
'Til one day I met the Master
And I looked into His eyes
Then, by grace, my soul was rescued
And now I've got to testify
I'm not waiting on the water
My soul is reaching out to Jesus
In Him I know there's healing power
To deliver the restore
My faith is ready and I'm willing
The time has come for something more
I'm not waiting on the water
I'm reaching out to touch the Lord
I'm not waiting on the water
My soul is reaching out to Jesus
In Him I know there's healing power
To deliver the restore
My faith is ready and I'm willing
The time has come for something more
I'm not waiting on the water
I'm reaching out to touch the Lord
I'm not waiting on the water
My soul is reaching out to Jesus
In Him I know there's healing power
To deliver the restore
My faith is ready and I'm willing
The time has come for something more
I'm not waiting on the water
I'm reaching out to touch the Lord
