A Song:
There is a river
A Holy place
There is a river
Where the Most High dwells
That makes glad the city of God –Psalm 46:4 
Let it flow(3x)
By His hand
From the throne –John 4:10; 7:38; Ezek 47:9,12; Rev 22:1-2
Let it flow(3x)
Christ revealed to His own. –1Cor 2:9-10

2Corinthians 2:14-17 AMPC … But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere, 15 For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: 16 To the latter it is an aroma [wafted] from death to death [a fatal odor, the smell of doom]; to the former it is an aroma from life to life [a vital fragrance, living and fresh]. And who is qualified (fit and sufficient) for these things? [Who is able for such a ministry? We?] 17 For we are not, like so many, [like hucksters making a trade of] peddling God’s Word [shortchanging and adulterating the divine message]; but like [men] of sincerity and the purest motive, as [commissioned and sent] by God, we speak [His message] in Christ (the Messiah), in the [very] sight and presence of God.

1Peter 2:4-9 AMPC … Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God’s sight. 5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For thus it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen (honored), precious chief Cornerstone, and he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall never be disappointed or put to shame. 7 To you then who believe (who adhere to, trust in, and rely on Him) is the preciousness; but for those who disbelieve [it is true], The [very] Stone which the builders rejected has become the main Cornerstone, 8 And, A Stone that will cause stumbling and a Rock that will give [men] offense; they stumble because they disobey and disbelieve [God’s] Word, as those [who reject Him] were destined (appointed) to do. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

From Living Stones Beautifully Laid:

Living stones placed with care
A spiritual temple
A holy house
Beautifully built and laid
Upright, cut straight, true to plumb –2Tim 2:15
Resting secure upon the Corner Stone. –Eph 4:14-16

Living stones formed to show forth His praise
Streams in the desert –Isa 43:20-21
Marvelous light
Proclaiming the goodness of God
Through Jesus Christ sacrifices of praise
The fruit of lips giving thanks to His name! –He 13:15
