River of Living Water, Flow in My Life
A Fresh Amplification from John 7:38 and Ezekiel 47
River of living water, flow in my life—not a stagnant pool,
But a current from the throne of God, alive and powerful.
Let it rise from the deepest part, the innermost of me,
Where Christ has placed His Spirit, flowing ceaselessly.
Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. (John 7:38)
Flow through the desert of my weariness, where hope has withered dry.
Bring the oasis of Your presence; let my spirit magnify
The grace that never runs out, the mercy that will not cease.
Let Your river turn my barren ground into a garden of peace.
Flow through the wilderness of waiting, where the path is lost and long.
Be the stream that follows me, the current that makes me strong.
Not a trickle, not a drizzle, but a rushing, mighty tide,
That carries every fear and failure far away from my inside.
Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold. (Ezekiel 47:1)
Let the river deepen as I wade in further still—
From ankle-deep to knee, to waist, until my own will
Is swallowed in the flood, and I can no longer stand,
But swim in the fullness of Your love, carried by Your hand.
Where the river flows, life abounds—trees of healing on the shore.
Every month they bear fresh fruit, and their leaves will evermore
Bring wholeness to the nations, restoration to the land.
River of living water, flow in me; I yield to Your command.
He showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)
Flow, living water. Flow, O Holy Spirit. Flow.
I open every gate. I let my barriers go.
River of living water, make my life a channel deep,
Where the thirsty find refreshment and the broken learn to leap.
Amen.
