The River Is Here
Bob Fitts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it brings refreshing wherever it goes
Through the valleys and over the fields
The river is rushing and the river is here
The river of God
Sets our feet to dancing
The river of GodFills our hearts with cheer
The river of God
Fills our mouths with laughter
And we rejoice for the river is here
The river of God is teaming with life
And all who touch it can be revived
And all who linger on this river's shore
will come back thirsting
For more of the Lord
Up to the mountain we love to go
To find the presence of the Lord
Along the banks of the river we run
We dance with laughter
Giving praise to the Son
"The River Is Here" is a song that talks about the presence of God through the metaphor of a river. The lyrics describe how the river flows down from the mountain and brings refreshing wherever it goes, symbolizing God's presence and the blessings that come with it. The river rushes through valleys and over fields, representing the abundance of God's grace that is available to all.
The chorus talks about the river of God setting our feet to dancing, filling our hearts with cheer, and filling our mouths with laughter. These lines show how the presence of God brings joy and happiness to those who encounter it. The lyrics also say that the river of God is teaming with life and all who touch it can be revived, representing the life-giving and renewing power of God's presence.
In the second verse, the lyrics talk about going up to the mountain to find the presence of God. This represents the effort and desire to seek God's presence and the rewards of experiencing it. Dancing and giving praise to the Son along the banks of the river represents the expression of joy and gratitude that comes from encountering God's presence.
