"Come To The Water" lyrics - KIRK FRANKLIN

There's a war going on just across the street
There's a rage that's burning to an angry beat
I can feel the thirst but there's no relief
We need a river

There's a sound in the distance like a thunder cloud
Waiting for the rain while the sun beats down
Can you feel it rising from the underground?
We need a river

Oh let justice roll like rivers,
Oh let mercy flow with love, love

Come to the water, come to the water of life
It will never run dry
Come to the water, run to the water of life
It will never run dry

There's a cry from the child in the factory
There's a prayer for the prisoners of poverty
Save us from the greed and the apathy
We need a river

There's a hope like a flood running down our street
We're an army of peacemakers on our feet
Take us to the place love and mercy meet
There is a river
