The river runs wide

It shows what we can’t hide

It flows every day

In teaches us God’s way

It reveals our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

It provides a path

Without unleashing God’s wrath

It gives us strength

As we talk with God at length

It shows what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

It fills the soul

It makes life whole

It gives us something pure

It makes us feel secure

It takes us to a place

Filled with mercy and grace

It hangs on God’s word

One we’ve always heard

It gives us peace

Our hearts won’t release

The river

Shows the love

Coming from heaven above

It holds us close

Cause we matter most

It keeps us on solid ground

It reveals the joy we found

It shows the journey

Meant for us only

It shows faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

It offers a tender touch

That means so much

It carries us far

Without leaving a scar

It tells a story

In all God’s glory

It removes every cloud

Makes us very proud

It shows what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

It teaches us to live

Shows us how to give

The river
