O love of God, strong and true,
In my barren soul a river running free.
O love of God, swift and straight,
You have washed away my sin and leave no trace.

River rise and carry me away

I see you in the stars above
I feel you in the earth below
In waves that swell, in winds that blow
I marvel at the mystery
That one so great could love someone like me
Undeserved and free
O love of God
O love of God

O love of God, wonder's to me
That this quivering soul was lost and found in thee.
O love of God, my shield and spade,
Will you turn me to the oceans of your grace?

River rise and carry me away

I see you in the stars above
I feel you in the earth below
In waves that swell, in winds that blow
I marvel at the mystery
That one so great could love someone like me
Undeserved and free
O love of God
O love of God
O love of God
O love of God
