For the thirsty heart
For the soul that's dry
You're the rain in the desert
The fountain of life
Let my roots go deep
Let my hands reach high
Like a tree that's been planted
With water beside
I got rivers of joy
Down in my soul
Like nothing I've ever known
I got rivers of joy
Deep in my bones
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
My whole life is yours
I'll stay by your side
So in every season
There's fruit on the vine
Oh your love overflows
It's what keeps me alive
And it's carving out freedom wherever it winds
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Down in my soul
I got rivers of joy
Down in my soul
I got rivers of joy
Deep in my bones
I got rivers of joy
Down in my soul
Like nothing I've ever known
I got rivers of joy
Deep in my bones
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
