The news "out there" appears to be increasingly "bad" in many ways.
There is much "good news" also - but it's hard to see among all the "bad" headlines and stories.
This song is a Healing Song - for all who are worried, sad, depressed, anxious, afraid, hurting, broken, sick, sorrowing, confused, burdened down by cares of our lives and the lives of others and the life of our nation and the world!
Please listen to all the words - and let this song soak into us deeply...and we "soak" in that River Kim Hopper sings about.
The River is there for ALL of us.
He'll Wash Us Clean and He'll Make us New!
God bless and keep all!
Thank you so much, friend! God Bless.

Everything in my life is crumbling right now. I needed that song. Thank you.
That could also be a pic of our girl’s little brother, who lives with his mom. Bless you all!
You are very welcome and you have my prayers.
I believe God is going to restore you and your life.....so hope you will spend some time “jumping in that river.”
God bless you!
OH! Sorry - here are the beautiful lyrics and I pray that someday soon you will be able to
hear the lovely melody:
Oh my brother, I know you’re out there
With all your burdens, and heavy loads.
You’ve been traveling down this highway
For so long...
For so long....
Oh, my sister, I know you’re crying
Cause you feel lost down in your soul.
Where you’re empty....Jesus can fill you.
All that He asks is ....you come home.
Come on and meet me down by the river.
Let’s dive in like children do.
And let our troubles wash to the Father.
He’ll wash you clean and He’ll make you new.
Father, mother.... son and daughters
We’re all searching for that peace
That can fill us and then reveal to us
The sweet forgiveness that we all need.
So, Come on and meet me down by the river
We’ll dive in like children do ....
And we’ll let our trouble wash to the Father.
He’ll Wash us clean and he’ll make us new.
The blood that flowed from Calvary
Is in the River still...
His cleansing blood
Will wash and clean you...
If you only will!
So, come on and meet me down by that river
And we’ll dive in like the little children do.
And let our troubles wash to the Father.
He’ll wash you clean and He’ll make you ....new....
He’ll wash you clean and He’ll make you...new!
Bless you too. Hope you enjoyed the song.
Amen!
Lovely. I’ll print them out and tomorrow I can listen to the you tube and see the words. Thanks so much FWI!! Sweet of you to do that for me.
Yes He is. He is even there when we do not realize He is there. I know because He has carried me through some things when I did not know He was there. But He was. He never leaves us and never forsakes us. And even if we make our bed in hell, He is there with us.
What a Savior!
You’re very welcome!!! These words blessed me as I typed them. (I did search to find them online but could not find these exact lyrics without jumping through some hoops that I did not want to jump through....LOL).
Kim Hopper has an absolutely gorgeous voice. I do hope you get to hear her sing this soon.
Be calm and know that I am God....
God does not have a plan B. This is all according to His will. Someday, we will no longer have to fret about our day to day life.
As my dad used to say...If you pray, don’t worry, if you worry, don’t pray.
Thanks for the ping!
Thank you for the Wonderful Song, Freedom! It was Beautiful.
You are both very welcome!
I listen to this song often.
Everyone with whom I have shared it has appreciated it.
Somehow it is the “voice of Jesus”....being sung to us....I believe.
I love the image of little children diving in the river.....
Thank you! Your father was so right!
God Bless you!
I wanted to link to the awesome Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem thread to this thread which is all about God’s peace, joy, love, for us all - and especially for His beloved Israel and Jerusalem.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2488987/posts?page=33
The River of the Love of God, the saving grace of the suffering servant, the Messiah of Israel, whose shed blood is flowing still, as this song says......is washing over the entire world, including and especially over His beloved Israel.
Yes our prayers for the Peace of Jerusalem are being answered and God is sending that River of His Love in which is the Healer / Healing of all Nations out to all the world, to all nations, to all peoples, including to each of us!
Hallelujah!
Thank you, dear Lord Jesus!
Let’s dive in....like little children.
Hi, there, Jean - you are so very welcome!!! So glad to “see” you on this thread. Hope things are going well for you and Mr. seekthetruth.
(P.S. Am working on a project that will perhaps end in a book about our “banquet” with Sarah Palin during which we met in person and enjoyed her awesome speech together. I’ll keep you posted as that moves forward).
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THX THX.
This River Song comes from the Gaither Homecoming Gathering in South Africa CD. Every song on this CD is a “river” of joy, peace, hope, that flows out whenever I listen to it!
http://www.sgmusicforum.com/reviews/gaithersouthafrica.htm
(Love every song on this CD!)
Also - there is a CD by a young singer named Tracie Marshburn.
https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/traciemarshburn
Called: “Miracles Still Happen”.
This young lady is an anointed singer whose voice is like that of an angel - as is the voice of Kim Hopper.
Every song on Tracie’s CD blesses and lifts you into the “heavenlies” with Jesus!
May Tracie’s wonderful music spread around the world.
I met her Tuesday night in Wilson, NC at a “revival” being held by the founders of TCT.TV - Total Christian Television - the 32 year old network that is just now beginning to “explode” in its reach around this country and the world!
Tracie, who is from Kinston, NC, and who has not yet “broken through” with her CD sales - but is on the brink - sang two of her ORIGINAL songs from this CD.
She and I were also privileged to be able to hear in person the magnificent Shirley Caesar sing 3 songs!!!
Just an awesome time. But that is where I found out about Tracie Marshburn - was given her CD for free.
When her songs get on YouTube - as Kim Hopper’s songs are - will do a link to some of these songs here on this thread.
In the meantime - get her CD if you want to be truly blessed!
Finally, I strongly recommend just having TCT.TV on 24 hours a day in your home if you watch television - as an “antidote” for the cares, concerns, worries, that come to us when we read or hear about events occurring every day now,.
(If it is not available in your area or you no longer watch television - go to the TCT.TV website. Go to videos on demand and just pick a program that sounds interesting to you and watch/listen - OR click on the option to “watch TCT.TV” live (there are 3 different video streams you can click on which are all different and wonderful - but click on the main live feed for the basic programs there.
The humor, the education, the preaching, the teaching, the music, the chlidren’s programs are all so wonderful - I no longer watch Fox or anything else on TV much at all.
I have it on while Freeping!
Blessings to all today.
Diving in that River with you all today!
(OH AND PLEASE PING OTHERS WHO MIGHT WANT/NEED ANY OF THESE RESOURCES)
Thx.
Should be able to give a listen when I get back up for the day.
Blessings,
