Rita Springer's 'There Is A River' is a worship song that draws from Psalm 46, celebrating the river that brings joy to God's city. The lyrics speak of a fountain of grace flowing from Emmanuel's veins, which heals, refreshes, and washes away sins. The repeated refrain 'I will rejoice and be glad' expresses a response of joy and gratitude for God's saving work. The song is simple yet profound, focusing on God's provision and the believer's gladness in His salvation.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of our God
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of our God
So I will rejoice
I will rejoice
And be glad
There is a fountain full of grace and it flows from Emanual's veins
It came and it healed me
It came and refreshed me
It came and washed my sins away!
So I will rejoice
I will rejoice
And be glad
