Lyrics
I lift my eyes to Your throne
Lord as I lose myself in You
The song in my heart will be
Your alone
My treasure is in the Cross
Jesus I love to meet You There
I hunger and thirst for You
Now flood my soul
Chorus
River of Love
River of Healing
Holly Spirit flow
River of Grace
River of Mercy flow
River of Peace
River of Promise
Holy Spirit flow
River of Joy
River of Blessing flow

Meaning & Inspiration
“River” is a prayer of surrender and spiritual longing. The opening lines direct attention toward God’s throne and the cross, where personal identity and earthly treasure give way to devotion to Jesus. Hunger and thirst become images of a soul seeking God’s presence, and the request to be flooded expresses a desire for complete renewal rather than a momentary blessing.
The chorus develops that prayer through several river images. Love, healing, grace, mercy, peace, promise, joy, and blessing are all presented as gifts carried by the Holy Spirit’s flow. This imagery closely recalls biblical passages in which living water signifies divine life and the Spirit’s work. The simple sequence of petitions gives the song a worshipful focus: Jesus is the treasure, the cross is the meeting place, and the Holy Spirit is asked to bring restoration and abundant life to the soul.
