Healing Waters of the Tigris |
| Through famine, flood and choking mud the ancient river flows |
| Bringing life and death, transporting friend and foe |
| To build their cities by its banks the hopeful people chose |
| Fortify the walls — the fortress grows |
| Secure within the confiness of the stone |
| But what awaited them they couldn’t have known |
| Healing waters of the Tigris |
| Ever flowing and all knowing |
| Healing waters of the Tigis |
| Washing over me |
| 612 BC the Tigris floods and builds in turbulence |
| Pagan land of Nineveh — self-righteous over confidence |
| The rising torrent crushed stone and the courses on it’s way |
| God’s judgment on that fatedful day — a terrible price to pay |
| The greatest city of all — Nineveh — with a towering city walls |
| The awesome power of the swollen river Tigris — caused that massive city to fall |
| Healing waters of the Tigris |
| Ever flowing and all knowing |
| Living water of Jehovah |
| Balm of Gilead |
