Category: Cascading River of Love

One of the primary reasons I wrote the song Cascading River of Love is for use in worship ministry.  This song was written to bring worshiper into a better worship experience with God. It is my hope that the song will encourage, inspire and minister to anyone who participates in the song.

In life, we all experience difficult times. Moments where life is spiritually dry. This is the primary theme of the song. This desert place experience creates a desire to be refreshed. When it come to Jesus, He is the source of living water and the Holy Spirit desires to drench his children with the ultimate refreshment that come from God. The image of a cascading river that pours down paints a picture of that experience. It is a continual deluge of spiritual filling. It happens not once but many times over and over.

I invite worship leaders to consider adding Cascading River of Love to their song list. To assist in making that happen, several assets are being provided to worship leader and church music directors. Chord Charts, Lead Sheets and Audio are available.  It is my sincere hope, that the resources available here will help you learn the song.

Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
When My heart is dry like the desert day
And my life is cracked like the dried out clay 
Every part of me thirsts for one small drink
Of pure Living Water to rain down on me. 

[CHORUS]
Cascading River of Love Pour Down on Me
Every single drop I freely receive
Fill my cup to the top let love overflow
Let it go, let it flow

[VERSE 2]
Cleanse me from the dirt dwelling deep inside
Purify my heart, take away my pride
Saturate my soul with your lavish love
Like a rushing current from God's holy throne

[CHORUS]
Cascading River of Love Pour Down on Me
Every single drop I freely receive
Fill my cup to the top let love overflow
Let it go, let it flow

[BRIDGE]
Pour Down Your Love
Pour Down Your Grace
Pour Down Your Mercy on Me
Fill me with Love
Fill me with Grace
Fill me with mercy so great.

[CHORUS]
Cascading River of Love Pour Down on Me
Every single drop I freely receive
Fill my cup to the top let love overflow
Let it go, let it flow

“Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Revelation” 22:1-2

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1
