Watch this live performance of Gaither Vocal Band of this beautiful song written by Max and David Sapp entitled “There is a River.” It speaks of the encounter of Jesus and the woman in the well in the book of John in the 4th chapter. It’s very uplifting. Be blessed!!!
There Is a River Lyrics
There is a river, and it flows from deep within
There is a fountain, that frees the soul from sin
Come to this water; there is a vast supply
There is a river, that never shall run dry
There was a thirsty woman
Who was drawing from a well
You see her life was ruined and wasted
And her soul was bound for hell
Oh but then she met the Master
And He told about her sin
And he said if you drink this water
You’ll never thirst again
There is a river, and it flows from deep within
There is a fountain, that frees the soul from sin
Come to this water; there is a vast supply
There is a river, that never shall run dry
(Words and Music by Max and David Sapp)
Got lots of free music of this kind when I attended Anderson College and Theological Seminary (ACTS) at the same time as Bill Gaither. A wonderful 2 years for me. I wanted to go back, but after my sophomore year, I went home to find work. I did not get a job until one week before school started. Therefore, I could not afford to go back. I missed being there so much. As I’ve often said, the only place besides home that I have ever been homesick for was ACTS. I am so glad that one of my classmates is still serving God in this way. Thank you, Father.
