River of God

River of God, flood over me,

And lift my feet up off the ground,

Carry me out into Your sea,

And in Your presence I'll be found

I've felt Your fire and I've felt Your rain;

And I've heard Your voice whisper my name.

I've been wading in Your river,

I've ridden on Your waves;

I've tasted of Your goodness,

Still I'm longing to be changed.

There's something inside me that just

won't let go;

Why am I afraid of losing control?

Oh, I know Your love is for me,

And You'll never do me harm,

So melt away my fears,

And Holy Spirit come!

I've had enough of holding back,

I see Your goodness all around,

This time I'm opening up my heart,

So come and fill me now.

River of God, flood over me

And lift my feet up off the ground.

Carry me out into Your sea,

And in Your presence I'll be found

Please help me, Lord, to be more like You,

To do all the things You've called me to do

Let me help bring in Your harvest,

Oh, I want it for Your Son;

So fill me with Your power,

Holy Spirit come!

Come like a mighty rushing wind,

A tidal wave or a monsoon rain,

Like a stream in the desert,

Or a warm summer breeze;

Gentle Dove of heaven,

Bring me to my knees!
