Lyrics
Verse 1
(Syncopated rhythm, dry lead vocal)
I will trust You, Lord
Even when the streams run dry
Psalm 63:1 / “Thirsting for You”
You make a way
Where there is none
Isaiah 43:19 / “I am doing a new thing”
⸻
Pre-Chorus
(light percussion, off-beat layering)
You lift me high
Over shadowed lands
Psalm 18:33 / “You make my feet like the deer’s”
I am not alone
You hold my hand
⸻
Chorus
(full layered vocals, spacious reverb, off-beat accents)
You are my river
In the desert dry
Jeremiah 2:13 / “The fountain of living waters”
You are my shelter
When the storm draws nigh
Psalm 91:1 / “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High”
I lay all my fear
At Your feet
Psalm 34:4 / “I sought the Lord, and He answered me”
You never leave
You are with me
Hebrews 13:5 / “I will never leave you”
⸻
Verse 2
(acoustic-electric interplay, Phrygian minor motifs, offbeat strumming)
You guide me through
The valley of shadow
Psalm 23:4 / “I will fear no evil”
Your rod and staff
Comfort my soul
Psalm 23:4 / same reference
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2
(vocal layering, subtle syncopation)
You prepare a table
In the presence of my foes
Psalm 23:5 / “You anoint my head with oil”
I will bless Your name
Forevermore
⸻
Chorus
(full layered vocals, slightly denser, rhythmic repetition of key phrases)
You are my river
In the desert dry
You are my shelter
When the storm draws nigh
I lay all my fear
At Your feet
You never leave
You are with me
⸻
Bridge
(drop drums, canon-like vocal layering, soft percussion continues)
Spring up, O well of life
Jeremiah 2:13 / Living water imagery
Flow through me
Bring me peace
Breathe in, breathe out
Isaiah 44:3 / “I will pour my Spirit upon you”
⸻
Final Chorus
(full band returns, layered vocals, syncopated guitar accents, slight tempo lift +1–2 BPM)
You are my river
In the desert dry
You are my shelter
When the storm draws nigh
I lay all my fear
At Your feet
You never leave
You are with me
⸻
Outro
(strip to solo acoustic, ambient hum)
Spring up…
Flow…
