there is a RIVER

Jason Christopher Hackwith

VERSE 1

There is a River filled with tears
That courses through these broken years;
Caught up within the reckless love,
It lifts my heart to Jesus.

He bids me see His broken heart;
The wounds for me, His nail scars;
Caught up within the reckless love,
My tears and His co-mingled.

There is a River filled with love:
The tears of my dear Jesus.

[instrumental break]

CHORUS:

And I am ruined by His love;
The man I am; the man I was;
He knows the depths of all my sin,
Still draws me in, and makes me His

There is a River filled with love:
The tears of my dear Jesus.

VERSE 2

There is a River in my pain
In darkest nights and brightest days
His arms enfold me in His love
So we can cry together.

There is a River in my death
Your Spirit falls; I feel Your breath
And as I dive into the Next
I know Your hand uplifts me.

[instrumental break]

Yes, I am ruined by His love
The man I am; the man I was;
He knows the depths of all my sin
Still draws me in, and makes me His.

There is a River filled with love:
The tears of my dear Jesus.
