Right Rivers

"Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not Thy law" (Psalm 119:136). "He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38).

Rivers of sorrow have run down my eyes;
God surely knows the tears and the pain
I could have avoided if I had been wise,
If I had been true to His teaching so plain.

Rivers of life are now flowing within,
Refreshing my soul and quenching my thirst.
These are the rivers that cleanse me from sin,
Filling with blessing a life that was cursed.

Rivers of sorrow or rivers of life
Will flow from the choices we make— right or wrong.
Choosing our own way brings weakness and strife.
Choosing to honor the Lord makes us strong.
