River of Life

(Ooh yeah)

The angel shows John

a pure river of water of life,

Clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb,

beyond strife. In the midst of the street of it,

on either side of the river bright,

The tree of life bears twelve kinds of fruits,

yielding each month its delight.

The leaves of the tree,

for the healing of the nations,

bring renewal, No more curse shall be,

in God's city timeless and perpetual.

The throne of God and of the Lamb is therein,

His servants serve Him,

beholding His face, a new life begins. (Ooooh)

Let him who thirsts take of the water of life freely,

(freely, yeah)

The invitation to grace and life,

offered truly and sincerely.

His name upon their foreheads written,

they bear,

No night, no lamp,

no sun, for the Lord God gives light beyond compare.

They shall reign forever and ever,

in His glory bright,

The promise of eternal life

and divine right.

“Behold, I come quickly,”

the words faithful and true as relayed,

Blessed is he that keeps the sayings of this prophecy’s shade.

John, who heard and saw these things,

fell down to worship in awe,

But the angel said,

“Worship God,” fulfilling divine law.

(Amen, yeah)

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,

Amen, the church’s resounding call.
