Letra de 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 confines 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 Tigris
Washing over me
612 BC the Tigris floods and builds in turbulence
Pagan land of Nineveh - self-righteous over confidence
The rising torrent crushes stone
And courses on its way
God's judgment on that fateful day
A terrible price to pay
The greatest city of all - Nineveh
With 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
