The River

THE RIVER   

You give me water I may drink   
That I may never thirst again  
You clear my mind that I may think  
That I may know you as my friend  

I hear the living waters run   
 I feel I've found the missing link   
I feel the warmth of your dear Son   
You give me water I may drink   

In peace I hear the waters song    
 Sings sweetly to me in the wind   
It makes me feel like I belong    
That I may never thirst again   

It brings peaceful joy to my mind   
When troubles bring me to the brink   
It is the sweetest joy I find   
You clear my mind that I may think   

It's my greatest honor for sure  
  Always will be to very end   
 You cared and knocked upon my door   
That I may know you as my friend   

 When at the gates, what will I think?   
  That river from the throne of grace   
Be there faster than eye can blink  
And once more I'm sure I can say   
You give me water to drink
