THE RIVER “its a rising”
Do you hear the water swell?
And where the river runs
Life will soon live there.
It washes well the heart of man
It flourishes the vines.
The fruit will grow abundantly
With nourishment so kind.
But, do you see the journey well
The waters you must go through?
At first it shall be ankle deep
These trials will not consume.
But, hence again, the waters rise
Your knees will then be wet.
For Christ is gaining access to
The heart in greater depths.
You shall not go around the crest
Each time He’ll take you THROUGH.
Until the river rises high
He then must carry you.
You’ll notice in your greatest trials
The trees are growing yet
The water has quenched them of a thirst
An “inner need” He’s met.
THE RIVER is “source” to many trees
Who reside along the bank
But if you’ll pay attention close
The VALLEY is the route He takes.
It shall be near your deepest trial
The river now consumes
But in His Majesty’s design
Comes a great, now, multitude.
There’s now a SEA of healing drops
And countless, many fish
“Exceeding many that your love
Will tend, for they are sick.
You’ll spread your nets and drag the lame
You’ll feed them food and drink
THE RIVER, now, it lives in you
Flowing from His sanctuary.
