Lyrics

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
I'm building my house down by the riverside
There the cool waters flow both day and night
When I'm thirsty I walk down by the riverside
Then I take a drink to my heart's delight

(Chorus 1)
I'm not thirsty anymore
I'm not thirsty anymore
Now I drink from the waters of life
I'm not thirsty anymore
I'm not thirsty anymore
Now I drink to my heart's delight

(Verse 2)
There's plenty of room down by the riverside
There the cool waters flow both day and night
You can build next to me down by the riverside
Then we'll take a drink to our hearts' delight

(Chorus 2)
We're not thirsty anymore
We're not thirsty anymore
Now we drink from the waters of life
We're not thirsty anymore
We're not thirsty anymore
Now we drink to our hearts' delight

(Bridge)
If you are weary and you don't know where to go
To quench the thirsting in your soul
Come to the river, let its healing waters flow
Into your heart and make you whole

(Modified Verse 2)
There's plenty of room down by the riverside
There the cool waters flow both day and night
You can build next to me down by the riverside
Then we'll take a drink to our hearts' delight

(Repeat Chorus 2)
We're not thirsty anymore
We're not thirsty anymore
Now we drink from the waters of life
We're not thirsty anymore
We're not thirsty anymore
Now we drink to our hearts' delight

We're not thirsty anymore
We're not thirsty anymore
Now we drink from the waters of life
We're not thirsty anymore
We're not thirsty anymore
Now we drink to our hearts' delight
Now we drink to our hearts' delight
