Song Lyrics
River of Mercy
Psalm 36:8
Verse 1
In the river of Your mercy, life begins anew,
Flowing from Your throne, in currents of truth.
In every ripple, every wave, Your grace abounds,
In the river of Your mercy, where love is found.
Chorus
River of mercy, endlessly deep,
In Your waters of grace, my soul you keep.
Flowing from Heaven, to the heart’s thirsty land,
In the river of mercy, by Your hand.
Verse 2
Through the deserts of life, through the barren lands,
Your river flows, guided by Your hands.
Bringing life to the dry, hope to the weary soul,
In the river of Your mercy, we are made whole.
Bridge
In every turn, in every bend,
Your grace flows without end.
Nourishing, healing, setting free,
In Your river of mercy, we find eternity.
Chorus
River of mercy, endlessly deep,
In Your waters of grace, my soul you keep.
Flowing from Heaven, to the heart’s thirsty land,
In the river of mercy, by Your hand.
Outro
In the depth of Your love, in the flow of Your grace,
In the river of mercy, we find our place.
Ever giving, ever pure,
In Your river of mercy, we are secure.
Pray for hearts hardened by shame or striving to be softened by the mercy of God. May you drink deeply from His river and find rest for your soul in the overflow of mercy.Spiritual Engagement
