The River
Beneath the feet of man I find A stream of filth and sin That springs from ev'ry heart and mind From fountains deep within. Oh, who can know its true expanse When hearts remain unseen? What tide can stem its dark advance, What pow'r can make it clean?
But from the sacred throne of God I see a river rise; The streams are peace and pard'ning blood Descending from the skies. Angelic minds can ne'er explore This deep, unfathomed sea; 'Tis void of bottom, brim, or shore, And lost in deity.
I stand amazed to see This river rising Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com That carries down to me Your grace surprising– That sacred flood from Jesus' veins, It washes all my guilty stains.
Free to the sinner dead to God Who sought the road to hell, That trampled on the Savior's blood On whom his sentence fell. But at the river's source I see The Lamb upon His throne; For those who slew Him now He pleads And calls them as His own.
Sov'reign grace and man's free will Shall not divide the throne; For man's a fallen sinner still And Christ shall reign alone!
