Tourniquet - Healing Waters Of The Tigris lyrics

[Words & music - Kirkpatrick] [Genesis 2:14, Revelation 7:17] Through famine, flood and choking mud the ancient river flows Bringing life and d**h, 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 ma**ive city to fall Healing waters of the Tigris Ever flowing and all knowing Living water of Jehovah Balm of Gilead
