A mother of three faces life alone
Her heart left in pieces since her love left home
It wasn’t her fault but she still feels the shame
And she needs to be held through the tears and there pain
With more than mere words we must reach her
With the heart of our God we must go
And let the mighty river of love flow
Let the mighty river of love flow
See compassion flood over the desert sand
Restoring life to a barren land
Let the mighty river of love flow
A tired grey-haired man in a rocking chair
Watch him wasting away thinking nobody cares
Once he was gentle but now he’s grown cold
In a modern man’s world there’s no room for the old
With more than mere words we must reach him
With the hearty of our God we must go
Shall we gather at the river
The beautiful, beautiful river
Gather with the saints at the river
