A River of Life

A river of life is what I seek Because you alone satisfy my thirst Clean me with the waters of your forgiveness Douse me in the pool of your wonder Every morning, your dew sits on my heart Flow into the seams of my soul Gush from me, the fountains of your peace Hold me, as the ocean holds the ship I need a deluge of your compassion Just as the trees need the downpour Kindness trickles from your hands Lead me beside the still waters of your love Make me float in a sea of your grace Never to sink under the weight of the law Open the dams that hold back your stream of blessings Pour your gentleness over my head Quietly fill me with the rain of your mercy Rush upon me so that I am swept away with your favor Saturate me with your Holy Spirit Tears of joy drop from my eyes Upward I dive, into your care.
