Lyrics:

I Go To The River Words by Ray Boltz and Brent Alan Henderson, Music by Ray Boltz, Brent Alan Henderson, and Steve Millikan I have walked in a garden The morning after the rain I have watched in silent wonder As everything changed Oh, what a gift from the Father Is the Water of Life Like a river that flows Deep in my soul Its from an endless supply CHORUS I: Where do I go When Im thirsty and dry? I go to the river And I always find Rest for my soul Peace for my mind I go to the river When Jesus prayed in the garden His brow was furrowed with pain And what appeared to be drops of blood Were falling down like the rain He found strength for the journey He found it down on His knees And where He knelt a river flows And it flows for you and me CHORUS I CHORUS II: What do I do When Im covered with stains I go to the river and I wash them away Everythings new Everythings changed I go to the river Its a river of healing Its a river of faith Its a river of gladness Its a river of grace Its a river of mercy Its a river of love Its a river of freedom Its a river of blood CHORUS I, CHORUS II CHORUS I, CHORUS II 1992 Word MusicASCAP (a div. of Word, Inc.), Shepherd Boy MusicASCAP (adm. by Word, Inc.), Knotty Pine MusicASCAP (adm. by Addison Music Co.), and Weedom
