A Trip to the River

Psalm 65 is a beautiful psalm that recounts some of the things God does for His people. This poem was inspired by verse 9 which says, "Thou visitest the earthand waterest itthou greatly enrichest it with the river of Godwhich is full of waterthou preparest them cornwhen thou hast so provided for it."

The River of God

The river of God is full of water,
Why stand you so still upon its brink?
The river of God is full of water,
Kneel down, and take a drink!

What kind of water?” I hear you ask,
Is it clean and free from dirt?”
Nothing can enter God's land that defiles,
No sin, no pain, no hurt.

How much does it cost?” you ask again,
Is it really free indeed?”
It is free to all who will drink of it,
To all who sense their need.

I'm glad that it is so full and free,
But how long will it last?” you sigh.
All through the years of eternity,
And its tide will always be high.

The river of God is full of water,
Do you still stand on its brink?
Linger no longer! Move quickly; act now!
Kneel down, and take a drink!
