Mercy Like a River

From heaven, let Your blessings fall,

Like dew on fields that thirst for

dawn.

Pour out Your mercy,

breathe Your grace,

Let weary hearts behold Your face.

Where shadows gather, kindle light; Where grief has made its home,

bring life. Bind up the wounds no eyes can see;

Call sleeping hope from underneath.

We lift our hands,

We lift our voice,

Like stones of praise,

We make our choice.

For every

breath,

For every

day, Your steadfast love will lead the way.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Mercy like a river,

Make us new again.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Heal the broken,

Raise the fallen,

Make us new again.

For those who cross the valley’s floor,

Be cloud by day and fire by

night.

For those who weep behind closed doors,

Keep every tear within Your sight.

For those who hunger,

break the bread;

For those who fear,

speak peace instead.

For those who wander,

lost and worn,

Run to them like the waiting Father.

We will speak love,

We will speak light.

We will bear hope

Into the

night.

With open hands,

With willing hearts,

Make us

the vessels of Your heart.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Mercy like a river,

Make us new again.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Heal the broken,

Raise the fallen,

Make us new

again.

Holy, holy, holy,

The earth is filled with Your glory.

Your mercy bends toward the ashes;

Your breath makes dry bones rise.

You are the Shepherd Who searches the hills.

You are the Manna That hunger can’t kill.

You are the Refuge When waters rise.

You are the Dawn Behind our eyes.

Pour out Your Spirit,

Like oil on the flame.

Gather the nations To call on Your name.

From heart to heart,

Let compassion run; From life to life,

Let Your will be done.

What You have given freely,

Freely we will give:

Bread for the hungry,

Room for the stranger,

Mercy for the guilty,

Hope for the living.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Mercy like a river,

Make us new again.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Heal the broken, Raise the fallen,

Make us new again.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

From heaven to the earth,

Let Your kingdom come.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Jesus, King of glory,

Let Your will be done.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

We receive Your mercy;

We will give Your love.

Let Your love pour down,

Let Your love pour down.

Make us one in kindness,

Make us one in love.

Let Your love pour down;

Let Your mercy flow.

Make us lamps beside the doorway

For the ones who do not know.

May our words be balm for sorrow;

May our hands make room and bread.

May our lives become a blessing

Where Your wounded sheep are led.

All glory to You,

Lord;

All honor to Your name.

Your love outlives the mountains;

Your faithfulness remains.
