How We Need the River Lyrics

Lord, I thirst for you
There is no one else who satisfies
And my soul, it longs for you
Like the deer panting for the water
Oh, now I wait for you
Take me to your courts of glory
And fall upon me, Lord
Give me strength to help me stand
In this dry and weary land

-Chorus-
How we need the river
How we need the rain
Living water flow to us
Again, we pray

Shower down your glory
Shower down your grace
Let your holy presence
Fill this place
Let your holy presence
Fill this place
-Verse 2-
Deep calls unto deep
Lord we seek to know your glory
For there is only you
And our hearts cry Abba Father

Now Lord Jesus come
May your love and grace restore us
Breathe upon us Lord
Let your mercies be brand new
Let the whole earth worship you
-Repeat Chorus-

-Refrain-
Jesus, come and free us
To worship in spirit and in truth
Heal us and reveal to us
Your power

-Repeat Chorus-

Let your holy presence
Fill this place
