"The River" lyrics

God's passion is an endless river
White water running wild
In a restless rushing fury
To see souls reconciled
It reaches wide across forever
It's dangerous and deep
And while some venture to the shoreline
Some even dare to leap

And the river rages, the river runs
All through the ages, long after I'm gone
There's a truth I'm finding I can't ignore
Whether I dive in or stand on the shore
The river keeps rushing on

All of those who ride the rapids
Have a message they must tell
There's a joy in being lost in something
That's bigger than yourself
And though the current takes you places
Where you learn to lose control
And I you think you're going under
He'll never let you go, never let you go

And the river rages, the river runs
All through the ages, long after I'm gone
There's a truth I'm finding I can't ignore
Whether I dive in or stand on the shore
The river keeps rushing on

(On and on, on and on)
(On and on, on and on)

Toward some quiet sea somewhere
There's nothing like the journey there

And the river rages, the river runs
All through the ages, long after I'm gone
There's a truth I'm finding I can't ignore
Whether I dive in or stand on the shore
The river keeps rushing
The river keeps rushing on

All through the ages, long after I'm gone
The river rages, the river runs
All through the ages, long after I'm gone...
