If you know where to get a good photo of King (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
I am drinking at the fountain
That will never run dry,
Drinking of the new wine of Canaan;
The Savior heard my pleading
And my anxious cry,
I yielded, and the blessèd
Holy Ghost came in.
Refrain
Drinking at the fountain,
Daily at the fountain,
Feasting on the new wine of Canaan,
And my Savior satisfies my every longing,
For I’m dwelling in the land of Canaan.
Oh, the load of sin I carried
Has been taken away,
Now from sin I’m free Hallelujah,
While leaning on His loving
Arm I cannot stray;
He dwells with me, the blessèd
Holy Ghost each day.
Refrain
He is willing, He is waiting
Now to make your heart pure,
Open wide the door, bid Him enter;
Oh, hear Him, still He’s knocking,
Hear Him still implore;
Throw open wide the door,
And He will enter in.
Refrain
