My soul today is thirsting
for living streams divine,
To sweep from highest heaven
to this poor heart of mine;
I stand upon the promise,
in Jesus’ name I plead;
O send the gracious current
to satisfy my need.
Like a mighty sea, like a mighty sea,
Comes the love of Jesus
sweeping over me;
The waves of glory roll,
the shouts I can’t control;
Comes the love Jesus sweeping
o’er my soul.
I see the clouds arising,
the mercy clouds of love,
That come to bring refreshing
down from the throne above,
The earnest of the shower,
just now to us is giv’n,
And now we wait, expecting
the floods of grace from Heav’n.
Like a mighty sea, like a mighty sea,
Comes the love of Jesus
sweeping over me;
The waves of glory roll,
the shouts I can’t control;
Comes the love Jesus sweeping
o’er my soul.
The show’rs of grace are falling,
the tide is rolling in,
The floodtide of salvation,
with power to cleanse from sin;
It’s surging through my being
and takes my sin away,
It keeps me shouting glory!
through all the happy day.
Like a mighty sea, like a mighty sea,
Comes the love of Jesus
sweeping over me;
The waves of glory roll,
the shouts I can’t control;
Comes the love Jesus sweeping
o’er my soul.
It’s coming, yes, it’s coming,
it’s coming down this hour,
A torrent of salvation
in saving, cleansing power:
I hear the billows surging,
I see them mount and roll;
O glory, hallelujah!
they’re sweeping through my soul.
Like a mighty sea, like a mighty sea,
Comes the love of Jesus
sweeping over me;
The waves of glory roll,
the shouts I can’t control;
Comes the love Jesus sweeping
o’er my soul.
