Like a Mighty Sea

My soul to­day is thirst­ing

For liv­ing streams di­vine

To sweep from high­est Heav­en

To this poor heart of mine;

I stand up­on the pro­mise

In Je­sus’ name I plead;

O send the gra­cious cur­rent

To sa­tis­fy my need.

Like a migh­ty sea

Like a migh­ty sea

Comes the love of Je­sus

Sweeping ov­er me;

The waves of glo­ry roll

The shouts I can’t con­trol;

Comes the love of Je­sus

Sweeping o’er my soul.

I see the clouds aris­ing

The mer­cy clouds of love

That come to bring re­fresh­ing

Down from the throne ab­ove

The ear­nest of the show­er

Just now to us is giv’n

And now we wait

ex­pect­ing

The floods of grace from Heav’n.

The show’rs of grace are fall­ing

The tide is roll­ing in

The flood tide of sal­va­tion

With pow­er to cleanse from sin;

It’s surg­ing through my be­ing

And takes my sin away

It keeps me shout­ing glo­ry!

Through all the hap­py day.

It’s com­ing

yes

it’s com­ing

It’s com­ing down this hour

A tor­rent of sal­va­tion

In sav­ing

cleans­ing pow­er:

I hear the bil­lows surg­ing

I see them mount and roll;

O glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

They’re sweep­ing through my soul.
