Lyrics
Getting caught up again
Swept up in love divine
Learning all over again
What it is to be loved by You
What it is to be known by You
Chorus:
Flow, flow, river of love
Pour through the streets that run in my heart
I open to the promise You gave to us
I am ready, I am ready
For You to come
Learning to trust again
And lean in to who You are
Open my heart and my hands
I'm giving in to be known by You
Giving in to be loved by You
Flow, flow, river of love
Pour through the streets that run in my heart
I open to the promise You gave to us
I am ready, I am ready
Flow, flow, river of love
Pour through the streets that run in my heart
I open to the promise You gave to us
I am ready, I am ready
For You to come
For You to come
For You to come
For You to come
Bridge:
Flow through the streets in my heart
Over the banks of my soul
Run through the thoughts in my mind
'Til all I know is I am loved
Flow through the streets in my heart
Over the banks of my soul
Run through the thoughts in my mind
'Til all I know is I am loved
'Til all I know is I am loved
Flow, flow, river of love
Pour through the streets that run in my heart
I open to the promise You gave to us
I am ready, I am ready
For You to come

Meaning & Inspiration
River of Love presents divine love as a current that reaches every hidden part of a person. Its central image moves through the streets of the heart, over the banks of the soul, and through the thoughts of the mind. That language gives shape to a prayer for trust, openness, and the assurance of being fully known and loved by God. The repeated readiness for God to come expresses surrender rather than self-reliance.
The river imagery closely echoes the biblical picture of life flowing from God and bringing renewal wherever it goes. The song also dwells on a love that can be received rather than earned, linking its prayer to the security described in Romans 8. As the verses move from learning to trust toward opening heart and hands, the lyric portrays spiritual restoration as an ongoing reception of divine love. Its repetition reinforces the desire for that love to fill thought, affection, and identity.
