“I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me.

Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see (opens),

Opens prison doors sets the captives free.

I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me

Chorus:

Spring up oh well…within my soul,

Spring up oh well…and make me whole,

Spring up oh well…and give to me, that life abundantly.

I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me.

Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see (opens),

Opens prison doors sets the captives free.

I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me.

Chorus


Well, this song came into my head tonight. As I have said before it is interesting, especially if you haven't been listening to music in a while, to stop every now and then and pay attention to what song is in your head. What catches my attention are the ones that I haven't heard in forever, and that have lyrics that kind of creepily relate to the present in a very direct way. Ha ha, this just makes me laugh, so crazy. Earlier today I was praying for the Holy Spirit to start a fire in my heart that filled and overflowed, pushing out of my body. I prayed that his presence be so strong it would push out any thing that held me bound, all of the darkness, anything not him. And this song is what came in my head, hours later. For God to not only do his amazing work in you, but also have relationship with you, you have to believe. People can pray for you, even people that are interceding between you and God, people that can relay what God has to say to you. Yet, as I am learning, if you do not believe, truly believe in your own heart, "know that you know that you know"; then it cannot be real. For me, it’s time to claim these prayers, and believe. "I know, my redeemer lives, I know, my redeemer lives, let all creation testify, and this life within me cry, I know, my redeemer lives..."

Rachel that is really cool! And you're right. It all comes down to what you actually believe.

When you get the chance there is something I want to talk to you about.
