dive

to my dearest friends who are leaping:

the long awaited rains have fallen hard on the thristy ground
and carved their way to where to wild and rushing river can be found
and like the rains i have been carried here to where the river flows
my heart is rushing and my knees are weak as i walk to the edge
i know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
and in the rush i hear a voice that's telling me it's time to take a leap of faith
so here i go

i'm diving in
i'm going deep in over my head
i want to be caught in the rush
lost in the flow
in over my head i want to go
the river's deep
the river's wide
the river's water is alive
so sink or swim
i'm diving in

there is a supernatural power in this might river's flow
it can bring the dead to life and it can fill the empty soul
and give the heart the only thing worth living and worth dying for
but we will never know the awesome power of the grace of God
until we let ourselves get swept away into this holy flood
so if you'll take my hand we'll close our eyes and count to three
and take the leap of faith
come on let's go...

i kneel before the father. i pray that out of his glorious riches he may
strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and i pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power to grasp, how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
now to him that is able to do immeasureably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory... eph 3:14-20
