Shekinah Glory - The Rivers of God Lyrics

The Rivers of God is a brief prayer for heaven to open and for God’s life-giving provision to flow. Its repeated requests create the character of a congregational petition rather than a detailed narrative. Water serves as the central image, suggesting refreshment, abundance, and divine activity that reaches people from above. The repetition keeps attention on dependence upon God as the source.

The closing phrase, “Deep calls unto thee,” closely echoes the language of Psalm 42:7, where deep calls to deep amid the sound of waterfalls. The song applies that biblical image as an appeal for a profound response from God. Its request for water from heaven may also recall Scripture’s descriptions of God sending rain and filling streams. With only a few lines, the lyric sustains a focused posture of expectancy, asking for what only God can release.
