Come, River Deep, Come River Wide

words: Gary Hicks (Jan. 22, 2013)

music: American folk tune “House of the Rising Sun” (8.6.8.6.) 
                    or any other tune in Common Meter (C.M.)

1. Come, River deep, Come, River wide,

Submerge us in Your flow,

Come wash away the secret sin

That only You can know.

2. Come, Holy Dove, descend on us,

And speak Your thundering word

Come fill our hearts with Your great love,

And make us holy, Lord.

3. Come, Flame of God, fall on us here,

Consume this selfish sin

Come burn away the hidden dross,

And purify within.

4. Come, Wind that blows from heaven’s throne,

We set our sails for You

Come move us, holy hurricane,

Lord, make us clean and new.
