River of Life
May good news fall on good ground
As we rejoice over the sound
Heaven is coming down to earth
Send Your wind, rattle dry bones
You call us out from our tombstones
Heaven is coming down to earth
Heaven is coming down to earth
You bring life, abundant life
To dry-dead places, dry-dead places
You bring life, yeah You bring life
Our hearts awaken, hearts awaken
The river flows from Your temple
You welcome us to Your table
Heaven is coming down to earth
So Quench our thirst with Your waters
You make us Your sons and daughters
Heaven is coming down to earth
Oh it's coming down to earth
You bring life, abundant life
To dry-dead places, dry-dead places
You bring life, yeah You bring life
Our hearts awaken, hearts awaken
The River of Life is flowing from Your Temple
Welling up, stirring in Your people
Spring up. Spring up
The River of Life is flowing from Your Temple
Welling up, stirring in Your people
Spring up. Spring up
You bring life, abundant life
To dry-dead places, dry-dead places
You bring life, yeah You bring life
Our hearts awaken, hearts awaken
You're the River of Life
You're the River of Life
The River of Life
Yeah You are
You're the River of Life
You're the River of Life
The River of Life
Yeah You are
You're the River of Life
You're the River of Life
The River of Life
Yeah You are
You are
The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple
And I saw water coming out from under the threshold
Deeper and deeper this water grew
Until it was deep enough to swim in
A river that no one could cross
He asked me
Son of man, do you see this
The presence of God is bursting out from the temple
Spilling out, banishing separation and distance
He draws irreverently close
Life begins to overflow from the holy of holies into the world
From tabernacle to temple
From temple to Jesus Emmanuel
From Emmanuel to his people
The trickle becomes deeper and deeper
Growing and expanding into an almighty river
And this river is bringing life to everything it touches
The presence begins to saturate the city
That which was dead comes to life
You see this river moves in only one direction
Towards death itself
The river of life flows into the Dead Sea
And its salty water becomes fresh
Where the river flows everything will live
When it goes towards death
Death doesn't overcome the river
The river overcomes death
So what is this holiness
Son of man – do you see this
This is the holiness revolution
That is started by Jesus and commissioned to us
The presence of God is no longer contained from contamination in the holy of holies
The presence is bursting out from the sacred place and towards the unholy
The lost, the dead, and bringing resurrection, to all that it touches
Holiness making holy
The current of the river relentlessly pursues the resurrection places
Calling us deeper still
Son of man – do you see this
As we rejoice over the sound
Heaven is coming down to earth
Send Your wind, rattle dry bones
You call us out from our tombstones
Heaven is coming down to earth
Heaven is coming down to earth
You bring life, abundant life
To dry-dead places, dry-dead places
You bring life, yeah You bring life
Our hearts awaken, hearts awaken
The river flows from Your temple
You welcome us to Your table
Heaven is coming down to earth
So Quench our thirst with Your waters
You make us Your sons and daughters
Heaven is coming down to earth
Oh it's coming down to earth
You bring life, abundant life
To dry-dead places, dry-dead places
You bring life, yeah You bring life
Our hearts awaken, hearts awaken
The River of Life is flowing from Your Temple
Welling up, stirring in Your people
Spring up. Spring up
The River of Life is flowing from Your Temple
Welling up, stirring in Your people
Spring up. Spring up
You bring life, abundant life
To dry-dead places, dry-dead places
You bring life, yeah You bring life
Our hearts awaken, hearts awaken
You're the River of Life
You're the River of Life
The River of Life
Yeah You are
You're the River of Life
You're the River of Life
The River of Life
Yeah You are
You're the River of Life
You're the River of Life
The River of Life
Yeah You are
You are
