The River

God's passion is an endless river
White water running wild
In a restless rushing fury
To see souls reconciled

It reaches wide across forever
It's dangerous and deep
And while some venture
to the shoreline
Some even dare to leap

And the river rages
The river runs
All through the ages
Long after I'm gone
There's a truth I'm finding
I can't ignore
Whether I dive in or stand
on the shore
The river keeps rushing on

All of those who ride the rapids
Have a message they must tell
There's a joy in being lost
in something
That's bigger than yourself

And though the current
takes you places
Where you learn to lose control
And if you think you're going under
He'll never let you go
Never let you go

Toward some quiet
sea somewhere
There's nothing like the
journey there
