How We Need the River Songtext
von Terry MacAlmon

Lord, I thirst for You
There is no one else who satisfies
And my soul, it longs for You
Like the deer panting for the water

Oh now, I wait for You
Take me to, Your courts of glory
And fall, upon me Lord
Give me strength to help me stand
In this dry and weary land

How we need the river
How we need the rain
Living water, flow to us
Again, we pray

Shower down Your glory
Shower down Your grace
Let Your holy presence
Fill this place
Let your holy presence
Fill this place


He said to me
Son of man have you seen this
And he brought me and he turned me to the river
He said to me, this water flows towards the eastern region
And goes down into the valley and enters the sea
And when it reaches the sea its waters are healed
And it shall be that every living thing that moves
Wherever the river goes
Shall live

Deep, calls unto deep
Lord we seek to know, Your glory
For there is only You
And our hearts, cry Abba Father

Now, Lord Jesus come
May Your love and grace restore us
Breathe upon us Lord
Let Your mercies be brand new
Let the whole earth worship You

How we need the river
How we need the rain
Living water, flow to us
Again, we pray

Shower down Your glory
Shower down Your grace
Let Your holy presence
Fill this place
Let Your holy presence
Fill this place


Jesus (Jesus)
Come and free us (Free us)
To worship in spirit and truth
Heal us (Heal us)
And reveal to us (Reveal to us)
Your power

How we need the river
How we need the rain
Living water, flow to us
Again, we pray

Shower down Your glory
Shower down Your grace
Let Your holy presence
Fill this place
Let Your holy presence
Fill this place

Let Your holy presence
Fill this place
