Like a great and mighty river is God’s mercy,
Flowing through God’s people who believe.
His power is ours in fullness beyond measure,
Forever pouring out as we receive.
Though obstacles may rise and block its passage,
Slow it down or modify its course,
There’s nothing that can halt its steady flowing,
For the Living Water is the river’s source.
Life’s struggles won’t impede God’s stream of mercy
If we trust His love to always make a way,
And the river will flow out from us to others
If we keep our eyes on Jesus day by day.
