Verse 1
There is a river, deep and wide,
Drawn from the Savior’s veins;
And those who plunge beneath that tide
Lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And those who plunge beneath that tide
Lose all their guilty stains.
Chorus:
Hallelujah to the Savior!
Hallelujah to the King!
Every debt has been forgiven,
Every heart begins to sing.
Oh, the glory of the fountain,
Oh, the mercy of the flood;
I am washed and I am ransomed,
By the power of the blood.
Verse 2
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, as vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, as vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Chorus:
I am washed, I am clean,
By the grace I’ve never seen;
From the river to the shore,
I am His forevermore.
Glory, glory to the Lamb,
I am healed by the "I AM."
Verse 3
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious love
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more.
Chorus:
Oh, the river’s running deep,
And the river’s running wide;
There is healing for the weary
In the turning of the tide.
Come and plunge beneath the waters,
Leave your heavy load behind;
For a mercy like a mountain
Is the only grace you'll find.
Verse 4
Ever since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
