River of living water (2)

River of living water

River that flows from the throne

Fellowship giving and making

God’s own authority known.

River of living water

Fellowship freely bestows;

Bringing authority with it

Through every place where it flows.

Water of life is the Spirit—

God as the life in it flows;

Carrying with it His Lordship

Through every place where it goes.

Midst the gold street it floweth

Thus showing to us the way;

As in God’s nature it floweth

So in His way we will stay.

The tree of life by the river

Shows to us God as our food;

We by the river’s full flowing

Take of the tree’s plenitude.

Lord

Thou at Calv’ry wast broken

That living water flow free;

Now let me also be broken

Flow living water through me.
