River
River runnin' free
Let your water flow through me
Reach beyond where I can see
Quench some thirsty soul in need
River, river
I have lived in the desert
I have dwelt in a barren land
Once I built my life upon the shifting sand
I had no firm foundation
Had no shelter to cover me
There was little hope that I could see
Then I looked across this thirsty land
Felt the heat of the burning sand
Didn't think that I could live another day
But then what had seemed a hopeless thing
Turned into a desert spring
And its waters washed my hopelessness away
Oh, river runnin' free
Let your water flow through me
Reach beyond where I can see
Quench some thirsty soul in need
River, river
Oh, river, flow through me
Touch every soul I see
Flow out of me
River runnin' free
Let your water flow through me
Reach beyond where I can see
Quench some thirsty soul in need
River, river
