[English]

Here in this worn and weary land

Where many a dream has died

Like a tree planted by the water

We never will run dry

So living water flowing through

God, we thirst for more of You

Fill our hearts and flood our souls with one desire

Just to know You and to make You known

We lift Your name on high

Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide

We know we were made

For so much more than ordinary lives

It's time for us to more than just survive

We were made to thrive

...

Into Your Word, we're digging deep

To know our Father's heart

Into the world, we're reaching out

To show them who You are

So living water flowing through

God, we thirst for more of You

Fill our hearts and flood our souls with one desire

Just to know You and to make You known

We lift Your name on high

Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide

We know we were made

For so much more than ordinary lives

It's time for us to more than just survive

We were made to thrive

...

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable

Love unstoppable, anything is possible

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable

Love unstoppable, anything is possible

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable

Love unstoppable, anything is possible

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable

Love unstoppable, anything is possible

Just to know You and to make You known

We lift Your name on high

Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide

We know we were made

For so much more than ordinary lives

It's time for us to more than just survive

We were made to thrive, hey

...

We were made to thrive

...
