Spring Forth a Well (I've Got a River)

Representative Text

[Group B]
Spring forth a well
Inside my soul.
Spring forth a well
And make me whole.
Spring forth a well
And let me see
That light
that shines in me.

[Group A]
I've got a river of light
Flowing out of me;
Makes the lame to walk
And the blind to see;
Opens prison doors,
Sets the captives free.
I've got a river of light
flowing out of me.
