As Rivers Run

As rivers run into the sea

So God's love pours inside of me

With all the flow and energy and power it imparts

The rivers empty out themselves to the seas own empty heart

Though smashed against the jagged rock

And thrown against the shore

It does what it must to reach the one

In desperate need of more

A beaten, bruised and bloodied Son

Delivered up to die

Pressed between two boards of wood

Nailed and lifted high

To hang between two wretched thieves

And bear the ridicule

Of His killers, brethren, own creation

Made to be a fool

Regardless of the splintered wood

Or jeering of the crowd

His blood, His love has been poured out

On humble hearts who've bowed

Who made all things and is all things

Emptied Himself to be

The fullness of salvation

For as dry and barren me

Now exalted in the heavens

Where He rules with all command

He still pours out living water

On the broken, thirsty land
