The River of God

I want to live here

The river of God

flowing down from your sanctuary

where I find you on your throne. 

This is where you are worshiped - day and night without ceasing.

I see this river in my dreams

I stand while the river fills the lake around me.

I am led into the river, deeper  and deeper,

until I can not stand.

Surrounded by forests of lavish greenery all around me 

crystal shimmering clear water

I am suddenly at the foot of your throne

Holy fear is not adequate to describe how I feel  

Peace - like heavenly rain drops fall upon my soul

Healing melts away my pain

Completely immersed in your love 

All my sorrow washed away

In your arms - at rest

In the river of God
