The River Wants to Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Father you love flows though your kingdom like a mighty river
You children come down to Your banks to drink the living water
Your holiness abounds
Come Lord of all surround us
Reveal your endless power and Your glory
Let your spirit rise until your truth is overflowing in this land
If the river wants to run who's gonna stop it now
Who's gonna keep those flood gates from bending
We'll take this broken land and turn it into a temple
Light it with your fire that is unending
So take this broken man and turn him into a temple
Light him with your fire that is unending
