Intro
Verse 1
There is a river where
goodness flows
There is a fountain
that drowns sorrows
There is an ocean
deeper than fear
The tide is rising, rising
goodness flows
There is a fountain
that drowns sorrows
There is an ocean
deeper than fear
The tide is rising, rising
Verse 2
There is a current
stirring deep inside
It's overflowing from
the heart of God
The flood of heaven
crashing over us
The tide is rising, rising
stirring deep inside
It's overflowing from
the heart of God
The flood of heaven
crashing over us
The tide is rising, rising
Pre-Chorus
Bursting, bursting
Up from the ground we feel it now
Bursting, bursting
Up from the ground we feel it now
Up from the ground we feel it now
Bursting, bursting
Up from the ground we feel it now
Chorus
We come alive in the river
We come alive in the river
We come alive in the river
We come alive in the river
We come alive in the river
We come alive in the river
We come alive in the river
Bridge
Break open prison doors
Set all the captives free
Spring up a well, spring up a well
Spring up the well in me
Nothing can stop this joy
We’re dancing in the streets
Spring up a well, spring up a well
Spring up a well in me
Set all the captives free
Spring up a well, spring up a well
Spring up the well in me
Nothing can stop this joy
We’re dancing in the streets
Spring up a well, spring up a well
Spring up a well in me

In The River - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song “In The River” by Jesus Culture is a powerful reminder of the joy and freedom that comes from living in the presence of God. The lyrics speak of a river of goodness that flows from the heart of God, a fountain that drowns sorrows, and an ocean deeper than fear. These images are a beautiful reminder of the power of God’s love and grace.
The Bible speaks of this same power in many places. In Isaiah 43:2, God says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” This verse reminds us that no matter what we face in life, God is with us and will protect us.
The bridge of the song speaks of the joy and freedom that comes from living in the presence of God. The lyrics say, “Break open prison doors, set all the captives free, spring up a well, spring up a well, spring up the well in me.” This is a reminder of the freedom that comes from living in the presence of God. In John 8:36, Jesus says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” This verse reminds us that when we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are set free from the bondage of sin and death.
The song “In The River” is a powerful reminder of the joy and freedom that comes from living in the presence of God. As we listen to the song, let us remember the power of God’s love and grace and the freedom that comes from living in His presence.
