The River

Run Right Through Me

A song about the long journey back to God’s Will.

About the pursuit of faith, hitting the wall, submitting, releasing for Jesus.

Inspired by a teaching series using The River as a metaphor for our relationship with God.

[verse1]

Never mind me

I’m just a man

Whose dreams dried up

Long ago

My solid ground

Has turned to sand

Through my fingers

Watch it flow

With every wasted breath

I’m like the wind

Pushing dust

Across this bowl

A life of fear

And regret

A wilted soul

That failed to grow

But can you

Let….the….ri…ver…

[chorus]

Quench me

Cleanse me

Drench me

Let the river

Run right through me

Fill me

Chill me

Spill me

Let the river

Run right through me

 

[verse2]

My skin is cracked

Like the dash

Of a car

On a hot day

My throat is parched

Filled with ash

Gets harder to swallow

Every day

Overcome

Just watch the tears

They mark the dust

That coats my face

From the raging sun

I can’t escape

Stranded here

Because I have no faith

But can you

Let….the….ri…ver…

[chorus]

 

 

[bridge] x 2

Water of life

What are you waiting for

Rush me far away from every shore

Plunge me into your clear blue

Take my life I’m begging you

Father above, fill me with love

And let Your Will inside me flow

I once was lost, I once was dry

Replenish me, revive my soul

And let…the…ri…ver…

[chorus] x 2
