Matthew Ward Waterfall Lyrics

Far from compassion away from the truth
Drifting aimlessly in my own way
Oh, far from the time of my youth
When I walked with the Ancient of Days

Like ground that was hardened
From years without rain
Cracked and drying beneath cloudless skies
Oh, so was my unbroken heart
Until You brought the tears to my eyes

And You broke forth in the secret place
With the storm of Your most tender mercies
And the light of the Son shone upon my face
How my joy is renewed as Your love flows down

Just like a waterfall
Flowing over me
Just like a waterfall

Far from the morning, away from the light Others have fallen again
Oh, lost in the cold desert night
Of confusion, resentment and pain

I can see where a river once ran from the source
Through a land of contentment and peace
Oh, but the pride of an unbroken heart
Stopped the flow of Your spirit's release

How I pray You break forth in the secret place
With storm of Your most tender mercies
May You reign in our hearts with Your precious grace
How my joy is renewed when Your love flows down

Just like a waterfall
Flowing over me
Just like a waterfall
Flowing over me
Just like a waterfall
