The River
Heritage Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you've been
It doesn't matter what the scar
It doesn't matter what the sin
It doesn't matter how you fell
Somewhere along the way
There is healing for your life today
There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and known
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus' name

He looks beyond how far you've gone
He looks beyond when you were hurt
He looks beyond who stole your song
He looks beyond what made it worse
He looks beyond where others failed
To reach out to you and say
There is healing for your life today

There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and known
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus' name

It's a river that loves
It's a river that lives
It's the river of life
Living water it gives

There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and known
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus'




Healing in Jesus'
Healing in Jesus' name
