Theme: River

The river of God is one of Scripture's most evocative images — from the river flowing out of Eden to Ezekiel's vision of water rising from the temple to the river of life in the new Jerusalem. Songs about the river of God celebrate the life-giving, unstoppable flow of the Holy Spirit, the refreshing that comes when dry places are watered and what was dead begins to live. These songs carry a sense of movement and momentum — the Spirit is not stagnant but always flowing, always bringing life, always carrying the people of God somewhere new. River songs are especially powerful in times of spiritual renewal, capturing both the refreshing of the individual soul and the larger outpouring the church is always longing for.
