I was thirsty in a desert land,
Searching for hope with empty hands.
Then Your mercy like a river came,
Washing my soul in Jesus' name.
You turned my mourning into song,
You made the weak and weary strong.
Now every step and every breath
Will tell the goodness that You give.
River of mercy, flowing down,
Pour Your healing all around.
Grace unending, full and free,
Lord, let it wash all over me.
Hallelujah, we will sing,
To our Savior, risen King.
River of mercy, flowing wide,
Carry us in holy light.
Clap your hands and lift Him higher,
Let the people shout His name.
From the valleys to the mountains,
Jesus Christ forever reigns.
River of mercy, flowing down,
Pour Your healing all around.
Grace unending, full and free,
Lord, let it wash all over me.
