FIrst line "there's a fear among the nations and rumors of war you feel the hunger and pain ...

[Guest]

Looking for title and artist of a song based on Psalm 46:4 that is sometimes heard on Family Radio Stations. Last line of chorus is "for the promise lives where there is a river."

[Guest]

Words to the chorus are "There is a river flowing from the throne of heaven and the waters make the city glad. Come to the fountain knowing the father loves His own, and the river keeps us strong, until the joy of morning comes, for the promise lives where there is a river."

I also am searching for this song, because the sacred recording artists who sings it has in my view, the most beautiful male voice I have ever hear, as demonstrated by this song.

I have only heard the song played on Family Radio as the above guests have stated. -- Michael

Happily, Family Radio confirmed that the tenor is Scott Smith. The album containing the song "There is a River" is out of print, and they have lost touch with Scott, but there is a blogger who included an JPEG version of Scott's song in the following link:

There's a fear among the nations and rumors of war.
We feel the hunger and pain and shadows we've known before.
And though the mountains may tremble, I will remember that the
Lord God Almighty, He is the Strength of my soul.

And there is a river flowing from the throne of heaven, and the waters make the city glad. Come to the fountain knowing the Father loves His own. And the river keeps us strong, 'til the joy of morning comes, for the promise lives where there is a river.

The saints are standing, watching, waiting.....How long, Oh Lord, until Your Kingdom come(s)....call your children home? Amid the cries of creation the prayers rise to the Heavens as we long to be clothed in the righteousness, born from above.....

repeat Chorus....Be still and know.....I am God.
