River In The Rock
Audrey Assad's song "River in the Rock" is a worshipful meditation on God's provision and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. The lyrics use imagery of water—ocean, fountain, spring, and river—to describe God's inexhaustible presence and life-giving power. The song speaks of being called into the depths of God's love and of the Spirit bringing living water that overflows from a heart once hard. It is a prayer for spiritual renewal and openness, celebrating how God can turn stony hearts into sources of life. The overall tone is one of awe, surrender, and gratitude for God's sustaining grace.
You are the ocean
You call me out into the tide
So deep, so wide
You are the fountain
You are the spring that won't run dry
You don't run dry
...
Open my eyes
To see the river in the rock
Spirit of life
Your living water rising up
...
Overflow, overflow, overflow
From a heart of stone
Overflow, overflow, overflow
Till it's all I know
...
