So here are some lyrics I put together a year ago when I was thinking of the power of water and what it means in our relationship with Christ. Not got a melody because I just was not able to think of what music to put to the words , so would love some help and even thoughts on the lyrics , in case they don't make sense. River of Redemption (Deeps) Intro Stanza 1 There is a place we can go When life’s winds blow hard There is a sanctuary of peace When our heart’s mirth fades Chorus Down to the river The River of redemption Where our sins drown And our bodies rise Restored ,Revived Renewed In the blood of Christ Down to the river We go … Stanza 2 As the sounds of joy fade And shadows of doubt rise Let’s run to the sweet waters Where peace finds our souls Chorus Down to the river The River of redemption Where our sins drown And our bodies rise Restored ,Revived Renewed In the blood of Christ Down to the river We go … Bridge The river , Once darkened by the sins of Adam Is purified by the love of Jesus The river , Once filled with the lies of men Is restored by the Word of God The River of Joy , The River Hope The River Home Our River of Redemption Chorus The River of redemption Where our sins drown And our bodies rise Restored ,Revived Renewed In the blood of Christ Outro Let’s find our river When our souls shiver Draw close to the river

@Keiko Ying, thank you so much for sharing, and yes, it makes sense, and I will have a look at it. My focus was more about bringing people to the river; no matter what your situation and background are, there is a place you can find redemption. Christ will restore, but you got to come to the river. God bless

So here goes; I loved the melody, so I put a few lines together and tried to sing it through. Forgive me for the rough vocals and singing. Let me know your thoughts. New Again (Deeps) (Stanza 1) This day is just begun. And we stand before You, Lord. Lifted Hands, Crying out the name of Jesus. (Stanza 2) Yesterday is gone away. Your love has healed our pain. Mended Hearts, Shouting out the name of Jesus. (Chorus) For Your Love For Your Love Has taken all our broken pieces. For Your Blood For Your Blood Has covered our every sin And we are New Again in You (Stanza 3) As we stand before the throne May Your light fill our souls. Forever more Praising only the name of Jesus (Chorus) For Your Love For Your Love Has taken all our broken pieces. For Your Blood For Your Blood Has covered our every sin And we are New Again in You (Bridge) You gave Your life. For all of us So we may be New Again New Again (4) (In You) (Stanza 3) As we stand before the throne May your light fill our souls. Forever more Praising only the name of Jesus (Chorus) For Your Love For Your Love Has taken all our broken pieces. For Your Blood For Your Blood Has covered our every sin And we are New Again in You...

Will join next time; have a wonderful time and do pray for peace. hope and joy.

Hi all, and thanks, Jon, for letting me into this room of creatively blessed people. It's a joy to be here. So I am Deepu; you can call me "Deeps" when you are my friend. I am Indian by origin, raised in Nigeria in the first 10 years of my life, continued my education in India, and am now based out of Dubai (UAE) in the Middle East for the last 20+ years. Since Jesus caught me, I have been growing in Him. Imperfect as I am, I express my love for Him through music. I am quite basic in the world of music but enjoy writing and putting things together to worship Him. Here is where I speak to Him in words, poetry and music.
