God Is A River (Live) by Peter Mayer

In the ever-shifting waters of the river of this life
I was swimming, seeking comfort
I was wrestling waves to find
A boulder I could cling to, a stone to hold me fast
Where I let the fretful waters
Of this river 'round me pass

And so I found an anchor, a blessed (1)______________ place
A trusty rock I (2)____________ my savior
For (3)__________ I would be safe
From the river and its dangers
And I proclaimed my rock divine

And I prayed to it "protect me"
And the rock replied...

God is a river, not just a stone
God is a wild, raging rapids
And a slow, (4)____________________ flow
God is a deep and narrow passage
And a peaceful, sandy shoal
God is a river, swimmer

So let it go...

Still I clung to my rock tightly
With (5)____________________ in my arms
Never looking at the stream
To keep my mind from thoughts of harm
But the (6)__________ kept on coming
Kept on tugging at my legs

Till at last my fingers faltered
And I was swept away

So I'm (7)__________ with the flow now
These relentless twists and bends
Acclimating to the motion
And a sense of (8)__________ led
And this river's (9)________ my body now
It carries me along
Through the ever-changing scenes
And by the rocks that sing this song

God is a river, not just a stone
God is a wild, raging rapids
And a slow, meandering flow
God is a deep and narrow passage
And a peaceful, sandy shoal
God is a river, swimmer
So let it go
God is the river, swimmer

So let it go...
