Flow River Flow

Often Christians are expected to be critical, judgemental and fun-dampeners but this is a far cry from what God intended us to be in this world! We are carrying His life-giving Spirit around so the effect should be like the river mentioned in Ezekiel - refreshing, purifying, flourishing, nourishing and healing…

Flow river flow
Across the nations
Flood our lives
With every wave
Flow river flow
Throughout creation
Bring your life
Come on! Flow river flow!

I was lost but now I’m found
Your river flowed right to me
Your all-sufficient grace abounds
Your river’s flowing through me!

Flow river flow
Across the nations
Flood our lives
With every wave
Flow river flow
Throughout creation
Bring your life
Come on! Flow river flow!

He asked me, “Have you been watching, son of man?” Then he led me back along the riverbank. When I returned, I was surprised by the sight of many trees growing on both sides of the river. Then he said to me, “This river flows east through the desert into the valley of the Dead Sea. The waters of this stream will make the salty waters of the Dead Sea fresh and pure. There will be swarms of living things wherever the water of this river flows. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh. Life will flourish wherever this water flows. Fruit trees of all kinds will grow along both sides of the river. The leaves of these trees will never turn brown and fall, and there will always be fruit on their branches. There will be a new crop every month, for they are watered by the river flowing from the Temple. The fruit will be for food and the leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:6-9,12 NLT
