My heart’s been weary, my soul’s been dry
And now I’m desperate for the water
I’ve been so empty just getting by
And now I’m desperate for the water
Oh, how I need the river
Oh, how I need the healing stream
Oh, I’m running to the river
Gonna let it wash all over me
I’m tired of drinking from bitter wells
Now I am desperate for the water
Too many deserts I’ve walked by myself
Now I am desperate for the water
Lord, You’re my water
Oh, how I need the river
Oh, how I need the healing stream
Oh, I’m running to the river
Let it wash all over me
Come, all you hurting, all you thirsty
Come to the river, come to the river
There is cleansing, there is healing
Come to the river, come to the river
Oh, how I need the river
Oh, how I need the healing stream
Oh, I’m running to the river
Gonna let it wash all over me
Gonna let it wash all over me
Oh, let it wash all over me
Oh, I’m running to the river
Gonna let it wash all over me
