The River
Point Of Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
White water running wild
In a restless rushing fury
To see souls reconciled.
It reaches wide across forever
It's dangerous and deep
And while some venture to the shoreline
Some even dare to leap
And The River rages, The River runs
All through the ages, Long after I'm gone
There's a truth I'm finding I can't ignore
Whether I dive in or stand on the shore
The River keeps rushing on.
All of those who ride the rapids
Have a message they must tell
There's a joy in being lost in something
That's bigger than yourself
And though the current takes you places
Where you learn to lose control
If you think you're going under
He'll never let you go, never let you go
Chorus

The powerful lyrics of the song make it clear that all those who ride the rapids of the river have a message that they must tell.

Line by Line Meaning
God's passion is an endless river
God's love and care for us is like an endless river
White water running wild
His love is unstoppable and fierce like white water
In a restless rushing fury
His love is excitedly rushing to save souls
To see souls reconciled.
His love desires to save us from our sins and reunite us with him
It reaches wide across forever
His love is eternal and never-ending
It's dangerous and deep
His love can be overwhelming and go beyond our understanding
And while some venture to the shoreline
Some people may only get close to his love but not fully embrace it
Some even dare to leap
Other people may boldly and fully accept his love
Chorus:
The River represents God's love and it never stops flowing and touching lives throughout time
All of those who ride the rapids
Those who choose to fully embrace his love and follow him
Have a message they must tell
They have a testimony and message to share with others about God's love
There's a joy in being lost in something
There is an unexplainable joy in fully surrendering to God's love and letting it guide you
That's bigger than yourself
This love is greater than your own abilities or understanding
And though the current takes you places
Following God's love may take you to unexpected places and situations
Where you learn to lose control
This journey may require you to let go of your own plans and trust in God's will
If you think you're going under
If you feel overwhelmed or lost during this journey
He'll never let you go, never let you go
He will always be there to rescue you and never abandon you
