Cântăre I go to the river

I have walked in a garden

The morning after the rain

I have watched in silent wonder

As everything changed

Oh, what a gift from the Father

Is the Water of Life

Like a river that flows

Deep in my soul

It’s from an endless supply



CHORUS I:

Where do I go when I’m thirsty and dry

I go to the river and I always find

Rest for my soul

Peace for my mind

I go to the river



When Jesus prayed in the garden

His brow was furrowed with pain

And what appeared to be drops of blood

Were falling down like the rain

He found strength for the journey

He found it down on His knees

And where He knelt a river flows

And it flows for you and me



CHORUS I



CHORUS II:

What do I do when I’m covered with stains

I go to the river and I wash them away

Everything’s new

Everything’s changed

I go to the river



It’s a river of healing

It’s a river of faith

It’s a river of gladness

It’s a river of grace

It’s a river of mercy

It’s a river of love

It’s a river of freedom

It’s a river of blood



CHORUS I

CHORUS II

(repeat)
