I Go To The River



Words by Ray Boltz and Brent Alan Henderson, Music by Ray Boltz, Brent Alan Henderson, and Steve Millikan



I have walked in a garden

The morning after the rain

I have watched in silent wonder

As everything changed

Oh, what a gift from the Father

Is the Water of Life

Like a river that flows

Deep in my soul

Its from an endless supply



CHORUS I:

Where do I go

When Im thirsty and dry?

I go to the river

And I always find

Rest for my soul

Peace for my mind

I go to the river



When Jesus prayed in the garden

His brow was furrowed with pain

And what appeared to be drops of blood

Were falling down like the rain

He found strength for the journey

He found it down on His knees

And where He knelt a river flows

And it flows for you and me



CHORUS I



CHORUS II:

What do I do

When Im covered with stains

I go to the river and I wash them away

Everythings new

Everythings changed

I go to the river



Its a river of healing

Its a river of faith

Its a river of gladness

Its a river of grace

Its a river of mercy

Its a river of love

Its a river of freedom

Its a river of blood



CHORUS I, CHORUS II

CHORUS I, CHORUS II
