The River Wants to Run Lyrics

Father you love flows though your kingdom like a mighty river
You children come down to Your banks to drink the living water

Your holiness abounds
Come Lord of all surround us
Reveal your endless power and Your glory
Let your spirit rise until your truth is overflowing in this land

If the river wants to run who’s gonna stop it now
Who’s gonna keep those flood gates from bending
We’ll take this broken land and turn it into a temple
Light it with your fire that is unending

So take this broken man and turn him into a temple
Light him with your fire that is unending

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
