River of Love

I went to the river
The River of Love
And saw my dear Father,
The Lord, from above.


I saw that Christ walked
That long path through the mud
I saw that He died for me––
Gave His own blood.


The Lord Jesus died for me
Also for you,
And now He's alive again
Saving us, too.


I know I'm a sinner
I know that I fail
I know that sometimes my
Commitment is stale.


So cleansed in that river
The River of Love
God made me to shine
As white as a dove.


So come to the river
The River of Love
And let God transform you
Into a white dove.
