Gaither Vocal Band Lyrics
"What Once Was A River"

It's time, the prophecies are here.
The Spirit's movin' swifter
The last days are near.
Young men will see ventures and old men will dream dreams.
I will pour out my spirit in those days
Like never before seen.

CHORUS
What once was a river now is a flood
What once was a taste of His glory now is a feast of His love.
Windows of heaven have open above
What once was a river now is a flood.

My heart awaits His ev'ry move.
I'm seein' the fulfillment of all He said He'd do.
The river's edge is rising
With ev'ry gift He brings (Ev'ry gift He brings).
My spirit's moved to worship Him
My heart is moved to sing.

REPEAT CHORUS

And it's sweet feet away
And I'm pourin' in a flow.
I don't wanna be free
From this flood that covers me.
(From the flood that covers me)
Oh, whoa, whoa

REPEAT CHORUS

Whoa, what once was a river now is a flood.
Oh, whoa, what once was a river now is a flood.
What once was a river now is a flood! (5x)
