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

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
