River of Love

A river of love is flowing before us
Into the very heart of God.
Go into the water, go into the center,
Let Love cover you.

Chorus:
He is the source, He is the capstone,
He will carry you.
He will teach you gently
Just what He wants you to do.

Don't be afraid, He will not harm you,
He is the One who made you.
He knows your heart better than you do,
Oooh,   let Him love you.

Chorus:
"River of Love" was written one Sunday after Church. The Pastor had called for volunteers to go out into the streets and preach the Gospel, but few felt prepared, citing a lack of love in their own lives. Surely, this is the reason the world does not know Jesus. My spirit was virtually crying out, "Let Jesus love you. Then you will be able to love others.." Thus, the lyrics for River of Love. Musically, the river is flowing gently by, inviting us in.   
He is the source, He is the capstone,
He will carry you.
He will teach you gently
Just what He wants you to do.

There is nothing that is of Him
That He would not give to you.
Ooooh,     He loves you,
Let His love flow through you.

His love will wash away the teardrops
That are in your eyes.
His love will cause you to stand upright
To be made whole, to be made new.
  
Then you'll be able to love others
Just the way He loves you.
All that you touch will grow toward Him,
And His love will flow through you.

Chorus:

He will reconcile us,
I'll love you and you'll love me.
His peace will dwell within us,
The Water of Life will set us free.
Then we will flow together
As one to the sea.
