Amanda Janson's "The River (Living Water)": A Refreshing Journey for the Soul


"The River (Living Water)," by Amanda Janson, is about finding purpose in Jesus. In Amanda's case, it was her faith that helped her discover her true purpose in music. She writes her songs with the heart of someone who's experienced life's thirst, and in Jesus, she "thirsts no more."

Amanda Janson - The River (Living Water)The lyrics of this song are about leaving worldly pursuits behind and finding out that Jesus is enough. Amanda recalls chasing dreams that overshadowed what she really needed, dreams that gave only temporary satisfaction. She found out that it is His love that fills every void and gives us true satisfaction and purpose. 

The chorus of the song affirms that when life dries out our spirits, it is Jesus who replenishes us, and quenches our spiritual thirst in even the driest seasons. 

The bridge of the song is an invitation to all who feel weighed down or empty by life's struggles to come and drink from His well of mercy. May this song serve as a comforting embrace during life's storms and lead all who are "thirsty" to Him, our source of living water.

(Related scripture: John 4:14; Isaiah 58:11; Psalm 63:1)

Rowland Sunday's EP 'Community of Praise, Vol. 1' has another song that we want to share with you. The (CCM) song is called 'Take All The Glory (Te Dou Toda Glória/Recibe La Gloria)'. Parts of this song are sung in Portugees and Spanish. We are touched by this group! The ingredients that make us want to listen to more songs are difficult to describe, but I trust that it becomes clear as you watch the video and listen to the passion with which the lyrics are shared.  Rowland summarized this song in the following manner: "In the place of devotion, God speaks, and our mouth opens up, and sing in Praise and worship to Him the Most High - Take all the Glory Jesus!" Lyrics: Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!
