River

River

Chorus:
River runnin' free let your water flow through me
Reach beyond where I can see
Quench some thirsty soul in need
River... River

Verse:
I have lived in the desert
I 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.

Verse:
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.

Bridge:
Oh, river flow through me
Touch every soul I see
Flow out of me.
