To the River

After settling my eldest in crèche this morning I walked back into church during the end of the second verse and the chorus of this song:

I am going to the river,
Lord I need to meet you there.
Precious Jesus, I am ready
to surrender every care.
Take my hand now, lead me closer,
Lord I need to meet you there.


Something about the simple but concrete image of the river really spoke to me; we can all, wherever we are, whatever we are doing, take Jesus' hand and go with him to the river.

I pray the words of this song might speak to you as they spoke to me.
