Representative Text
1 I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river in my soul.

2 I've got love like a river,

I've got love like a river,
I've got love like a river in my soul.
I've got love like a river,
I've got love like a river,
I've got love like a river in my soul

3 I've got joy like a river,

I've got joy like a river,
I've got joy like a river in my soul.
I've got joy like a river,
I've got joy like a river,
I've got joy like a river in my soul.

The first three items of the “fruit of the Spirit”

(Galatians 5:22) are love, joy, and peace. This
spiritual compares the peace of God to a placidly
flowing river, the joy of Christ to a merrily bubbling
fountain, and the love of God to a deep, wide ocean.
