It’s your crap you swam through but with each stroke you took, your wounds were healed. With each stroke you took, the water got clearer, more shallow, more still.
The river of God-will you swim through? He’s waiting for you. He’s calling your name.
Over the past 17 days, I’ve seen many people plunge into that river. Some waded in slowly, others dove headfirst, unaware of what was to come. While none have made it completely out yet, all are still swimming. God’s timing especially sucks in this one. How do I know? Because I took the plunge the night before last. It hurts and it sucks and feel like I don’t even know how to swim, but then I’m reminded He’ll get me through. And I know, once I’m on that other side, I’ll look back on the river and see nothing but clarity, nothing but precious Living Water that I can’t help but drink. But until then, I’ll just swim. As best as I know how.
so He came and was broken for the marker,
for the shamed
still our eyes are blinded by the culture,
by the lies
we cant see that were filthy, we’re fallen
and so dry
but He invites us
can you hear Him say
He invites us
hear Him call your name
welcome to the river
come drink come away come find your very life
welcome to the river of God
where your brokeness is washed away
everywhere is the sorrow
and the pain of empty living
you can see it, look in their eyes
all the hopelessness of the world
but look closer He is right there
in the midst of every fear
living water is the offer
restoration is the call
and He invites us
can you hear Him say
He invites us
hear Him call your name
welcome to the river
come drink come away come find your very life
welcome to the river of god
where your brokeness is washed away
welcome to the river
come drink come away come find your very life
welcome to the river of God
where your brokeness is washed away
find your healing
find your freedom
in the river of God
find your healing
find your freedom
in the river of God
your healing here
your freedom here
in the river of God
your healing here
your freedom here
in the river of God
welcome to the river
come drink come away come find your very life
welcome to the river of God
where your brokeness is washed away
..washed away
everyone is broken and in need of a savior
