River

My desire grows deep like a well planted seed

Spreading its roots and now flowering

Into a fire that burns to go further

To grow closer to you

To dive deeper, love stronger

You come to me gently

You’re strong and you’re meek

You come where I’m at

Place your hand on my cheek

You say to me “be still.

I’m here and I’m for you

I am your strength

Let my water come near you

Penetrate the surface

Reach the deep places

And heal as it flows

Let it come

Let it come.”

Your sweet peace washes through me

It’s your river of life

Reviving my heart

Go deep

Come near

You’re all I want to hear

Move me

Kiss me

May your blood flow through me

For I am made new

And known through and through
