THE RIVER
by Irene mcGough There is a river proceeding from God's Throne, And that river brings life, presence and power, With it flows God's grace and mercy for this hour, As the Holy Spirit calls people to be new creations, Living waters quench the thirst of those who are thirsty, Those who drink of those living waters will never thirst again, For the water that Jesus gives is a fountain of life everlasting, And it was the Holy Spirit who birthed in you that thirst. The Holy Spirit reveals more of Jesus and the Father to us, He brings incomparable joy, freshness, and communion with God, And the river of living waters starts to really flow in our hearts, And in turn those living waters will flow to others from our hearts. My friend we need to go deeper in the river, ankle deep will not do, Yes we need to go deeper in the river waist deep will not do, To be freely flowing in this river we need to be swimming, But we can only swim in the river when we venture right in. So let's put aside all fear of the deep for in the river is life, And venture right in and swim and know abundant life, For when we swim in the river Jesus is ever present with us, And when we flow with the river the Holy Spirit empowers us. The Lord's glory is revealed in the river as the Spirit moves over the deep. The Holy Spirit will fill us up afresh so we can let the living waters flow, For a river must flow out and we need to let the river flow out to people in need, So when we are flowing in the river reaching out to others we must go.
