Verse1

There’s a war going on just across the street

There’s a rage that’s burning to an angry beat

I can feel the thirst but there’s no relief

 We need a river

There’s a sound in the distance like a thunder cloud

Waiting for the rain while the sun beats down

Can you feel it rising from the underground?

 We need a river

Pre-chorus

Oh let justice roll like rivers,

Oh let mercy flow with love, love

Chorus

Come to the water, come to the water of life

It will never run dry

Come to the water, run to the water of life

It will never run dry

Verse2

There’s a cry from the child in the factory

There’s a prayer for the prisoners of poverty

Save us from the greed and the apathy

 We need a river

There’s a hope like a flood running down our street

We’re an army of peacemakers on our feet

Take us to the place love and mercy meet

 There is a river
