River of My Life

Wandering around this empty place
I know so well
Must be the bitterness of failure I taste
And fear enfolds me, making me a slave
To itself
While I fall and beg You to save
The defiled life I’m known to lead
A heart of stone
That pleads for You desperately
Take me...

Oh fill the river of my life again
Let waters never ceasing flow from deep within
Because I am stained with markings of my sin
And running dry
Fill me with water that’s alive.

I’ve seen the faces that were meant to shine
Seen the lives
And some where thought as heroes of mine
But slowly did they fade when You came near
And I need You
Again, to meet with me here
Because You are sufficient for a broken life
More than enough
To cover over this earthly strife
Take me...

Oh fill the river of my life again
Let waters never ceasing flow from deep within
Because I am stained with markings of my sin
And running dry
Fill me with water that’s alive.

How many pieces can make up the mess
That is my heart?
Scattered about floors of emptiness
Trampled upon by heedless feet
Above my wounds
Urged to where failing and soil meet
And they cannot be put together again
By human hands
Only you can make joy from sin
Take me...

Oh fill the river of my life again
Let waters never ceasing flow from deep within
Because I am stained with markings of my sin
And running dry
Fill me with water that’s alive.
