I've Got a River of Life
Words by L. CaseboltMusic by L. Casebolt
I've got a river of life flowing out of me;
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
Opens prison doors, sets the captives free;
I've got a river of life flowing out of me.
Spring up, O well, within my soul;
Spring up, O well, and make me whole;
Spring up, O well, and give to me
That life abundantly.
