about

Testing out my new mic and interface using stagelight software
God's word is like water. It sustains us. If we are far from His word and what he says to us, we like trees deprived of water will dry out and die off. Sometimes I find it hard to keep reading the bible so this song asks him to bring me back to his river (the bible) so I can continue to be sustained as I walk with my sins forgiven.

lyrics

You are unseen creator

but you've seen me

The light from your face lights the path before me

Point me to the cross where you died for me

Your word can burn as flame

Your word gives life through Jesus' name

Any other, any other the flame consumes

But you are living water, you renew our whole

I'm like a tree

I fear your flame

I'm vulnerable

Plant me beside your river, your river

You make me lie down beside quiet streams

Dark and light, death and life

Fire and water, fire and water

Unseen creator you've seen me

The light from your face lights the path before me

Point me to the cross where you died for me

Plant me beside your river, your river
