The Nourishing River

Focusing on that river that supplies nourishment
Clear as a crystal, flowing from the throne of God

In the mist of it is The Tree of Life that bears 
Twelve manner of fruit, yielding every month

The leaves of that Tree are for the healing
That river, beautiful, crystal clear is the source

(Based on Revelation 22:1-2) (This was inspired by Brian Strand's .)
