River Flows Songtext
von Jørn Øien

A river flows through us
We are water
The water finds a way
Sweet river
Take my burden, Lord
I can′t go on, Lord

Oh, Lord, take away these chains, Lord
Show me the way
The way to you, Lord

River flow bringing freedom
Flowers will grow where
Desert winds have dried the barren soil
Ahh, ahh

There's a sweet rain coming
Falling all over the land
Can you feel it?
The sweet rain
It′s gonna wash us in the water of salvation


Wash me in the water, oh, Lord
Gonna get myself healed today
Gonna go down to the river, gonna say
"Lord, won't you take these chains away?"

And God is merciful
(Take these chains away)
He is merciful
He is love

Goin' down to Jordan
Wash me in the water
(River flow, wash over me)
He is merciful
River flow, healing my soul

Lord, take away the chains that bind us
The lie that blinds us
You promised us this
Ask, and you will receive

Oh, Lord, bring us to a land of peace
We have wandered far, Lord
Lost our way, but it′s you
Everything flows
Every raindrop knows


River of life
Flowing back to you, Lord
Sweet river flowing to you, Lord (Lord)
