My Journey to God

From His Heart the Rivers Flow

From His Heart the rivers flow—
Living water for our salvation.
Love to last and grace to grow,
Soothing streams to heal our nation.
Nations, powers and saints shall know:
From His Heart the rivers flow.

Sacred Heart and Sacred Head
Both with thorns and love surrounded.
Offering unlimited grace,
Love divine and mercy unbounded.
Teach the nations to hear His call;
Our Lord Jesus Savior of all.
Many rivers from one Just Source,
Unity in diversity splendid.
Still we teach ‘til all are one,
True rights safe and injustice ended.
Many cultures saved by one Lord—
Let the Savior be adored.

In the water we daily wade,
Casting nets, the Spirit guiding;
Drawing all to Jesus Christ
With the Father and Spirit abiding.
May their presence in us impart
Life to every human heart.
