For us Believers in Christ, being in the "river of God" is being in his presence in either worship or prayer. It speaks of seeking after God, who HE is, and waiting for HIM to speak to us. It might not be an audible response, but God does move, sometimes without us realizing it.
I cry every time i hear this song cause it's kind of like Mr. Hobbs, a really good friend of mine who died about 3 weeks ago is saying that i'll find him on the banks of the james river!
What I've been thru since I heard this song in the 90's, the story cannot be fully told. God knows the pain, sorrow and loss I've suffered in the "new millenium".
There's a reason the Lord gave me the name "prisonerofhope" in 2006. I'm a prisoner of something no one can take from me because they didn't give it to me.
Thank you Jesus.....becuase of delirious i am now a worship leader at my youth....Group....At the age of 16....Leading your people can be a tough challenge....But i know that you have equiped me oh Jesus....Thank you that the first worship music i actually worshiped you with was delirious.....Oh Jesus thank you for my heart of worship...And thank you for delirious.....Amen
we play this at my church when we have prayer for people after the service and some wednsdays at prayer. i LOVE this song!! i love love love it! THE GLORY GOES TO MY JESUS FOREVER AND EVER!! FOR HE IS THE ONLY TRUE KING!!! I LOVE YOU MY JESUS!!! XD
I was in our church sanctuary praying for my friend's son who was in a comma from a motorcycle accident hours previous. Someone had put this song on the speakers to accompany the quiet intercessors prayer time. I knew this was a way of the Lord revealing to us her son was already in Heaven and waiting there for her. I'd never heard it before that hour. Now my friend finds comfort in this song even as she grieves. Musicians, you never know what your contribution of talent will mean to someone!
@DakotaBrianneB One of the best antidotes for sin is humility and if we're on our knees in the valley we're in the best place ... remember the tax collector went home justified while the hypocrite was left standing "praying thus to himself"
Jesus, I've been having a time of hardship where I've felt really down all the time, thank you that when I am experiencing hardship, I know that I'm in the right place because that is where you are Lord. Thank you for keeping me on the right track, I'm sorry Dad that I pray things so selfishlesly and that I sin so much but Lord, all I really want to do is follow you, please help me to do that, and I am so sorry that I am so CRAP at doing that, cheers father, amen.
I'm not really sure but this song would make a great theme song for the movie, "End of the Spear". Have you seen this movie? If not, you should! What a message it has! We are friends of Steve Saint and his family. God Bless!
this song is dedcated to all good christians who live a life of rightousness. despite their love for the lord they still suffer in one form or another. this song pleads the lord for help. the River is the comunication with the lord.
the valley is normally associated with the hard times and tribulation of life, but is also the place where the deepest/truest/sincerest communion with the Lord takes place
True true...I come from a place of deepest valleys - cancer...loss...grief...regret...pain...but in those sufferings come offerings and a white knuckled faith that with one hand clings to Our Dear Lord's cross in His Passion and the other to Our Sweet Lady's tear soaked mantle as she watched and waited in moments of deepest sorrow...
In the perpetual river that still flows freely thru Holy Communion with Our Lord blessing and peace are found...
Beautiful music, vid and lyrics!

This song was played at a good friends funeral yesterday after a struggle with a drug addiction.
It was the first time i had heard the song, but I will hold it close to my heart.

Family reasons, mostly. They've been at it for over 15 years now, and some of them want a change or want to be with their families more.
