    I walk the Niagara River every day. It's NO coincidence this song came into my life when I was searching for forgiveness and hoping to meet Jesus on my walks. Can you imagine Christ taking our hand and leading us to the river. He is calling, He is waiting, He longs to meet us there. Hallelujah.

    Please cleanse me Lord of all that keeps me apart from you. i Love you so much Lord. i can't change the sins of my past. But I am very sorry for all of them. I know how valuable all life is. All of your creations Heavenly Father are Amazing. Please use the problems I am having to Glorify You. Help me not to be afraid. I know you are always here. Show me where I can be a blessing. In Jesus Name, Amen

    What a tremendous song. We all need to spend time in the river getting refreshes day after day. We can never spend to much time in the river where we will receive healing and anything else we are in need of. God is so good to allow a man like this to pen those words and music. I love the Lord with all my heart.

    First heard this song in Church, it was a turning point in my life. " He is calling, He is waiting, Jesus longs to meet you there."
    "Precious Jesus, I am ready, to surrender every care. Take my hand now, lead me closer. Lord I need to meet you there."
    A true invitational song.
    "And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17

    What a Holy Spirit inspired song, a call to frienship, eternal life and a loving relationship with the most gentle person ever lived on earth, Healing mercies flow with freedom from dispair, yes we need to meet Him and give Him every care, to set us free from the bondage of sin.

    Love this song, the words really speak to me; I could listen to it for hours and still be moved by it. It is exactly what I felt when I chose to be a child of God. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have God as the center of my life. Joy comes to mind when I think of God, He is always there for me.
