Like a River


Like a river rushing down to the sea
Like a rushing wind You blow into me
Like the falling of the snow
Like the blood that makes me whole
Is the love of God that flows into me

Like a river You come flooding
Thru the desert fo my heart
And like the wind, You come rushing
Blowing life thru ev'ry part
And like the snow, You're falling
On me with the blood of Your Son
And like the sun, You come shining
Making darkness run

Like a river flowing down to the sea
Like a rushing wind You blow into me
Like the falling of the snow
Like the blood that makes me whole
Is the love of God that flows into me

Like a river You come pouring
Out Your love upon my heart
And like the wind, You bring
Harvest down to take Your yeild, and
Like the snow, You come to winter
Touching hearts and making warmth
And like the sun, You raised
A mighty light to calm the storm

Like a river flowing down to the sea
Like a rushing wind You blow into me
Like the falling of the snow
Like the blood that makes me whole
Is the love of God that flows into me

(A song/prayer by Dennis Jernigan, c. 1982)
