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 resting place
A trusty rock I called my savior
For there 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, meandering 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 conviction in my arms
Never looking at the stream
To keep my mind from thoughts of harm
But the river kept on coming
Kept on tugging at my legs

Till at last my fingers faltered
And I was swept away

So I'm going with the flow now
These relentless twists and bends
Acclimating to the motion
And a sense of being led
And this river's like 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...
