River of Love

[Verse 1]
Well, your spirit is strong, but I'm a nervous wreck
There's something about you so fragile and delicate
If I could wrap up your innocence, I'd have it done quick
And keep it from the wolves of this present darkness

[Verse 2]
Trade your crown of thorns for a crown of joy
I was wearing my weariness like a badge of glory
You're tradin' your secrets after nothing remains
I was checkin' my pockets and countin' my change

[Chorus]
Now the word's in my ears
The wind's up above
I will shed my skin
When I jump right in
To this river of love

[Verse 3]
You get moved by the Spirit, but I'm so out of touch
You're down on your knees, but I'm down on my luck
You're doing your labors in the fields of the Lord
I'm workin' hard at nothin' in this cheap room and board

[Chorus]
Now the word's in my ears
The wind's up above
I will shed my skin
When I jump right in
To this river of love

[Verse 4]
Well, your spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak
Used to make my pronouncements, now it's harder to speak
And dig up a word that is good for the soul
'Cause down in these mines, there's a lot of fool's gold

[Chorus]
Now the word's in my ears
The wind's up above
I will shed my skin
When I jump right in
To this river of love
I will jump right in
To this river of love
I will jump right in
To this river of
Love
