Let the Waters Flow!

The wind blows briskly across my face
The sun behind, rising, a new day
The faithful Lord sits enthroned on high
And in our hearts does his dwelling make

The river flows down to the sea
Gathering more water from its tributaries
Winding as it snakes its way
A straight course it knows not how to make

The river of God flows from His throne
Flowing down, no curbs does it make
But a small trickle springs at its head
Ever growing as it flows straight ahead

Where ever it flows it brings life divine
Where it flows not remains stagnant with death
Drink freely of the waters oh lovers of God
Without cost or money, touch not the oil or the wine

Make haste blessed ones who call on the Lord
The well of the Spirit springs from Zion
Spring up, spring up! Let the River flow
From out of our hearts for Zion’s within

Fear not, fear not you who speak God’s Word
Take heed to be faithful and add not to it
For the judgment’s stricter for teachers, indeed
For God is jealous that we add not to it

The words like water flow from within
Giving life to the hearers who choose to believe
Pray often and study to show you’re approved
For an account will be given for every last word

In season and out speak truth from the heart
In time seeds spring forth when waters do fall
Each one growing as god supplies more grace
In your heart grows his kingdom every new day
