Lyrics Nichole Nordeman

Nichole Nordeman

River God

Rolling River God, little stones are smooth

Only once the water passes through

So I am a stone, rough and grainy still

Trying to reconcile this river's chill

But when I close my eyes and feel you rushing by

I know that time brings change and change takes time

And when the sunset come, my prayer would be this one

That you might pick me up and notice that I am

Just a little smoother in your hand

Sometimes raging wild, sometimes swollen high

And never have I known this river dry

The deepest part of you is where I want to stay

And feel the sharpest edges wash away

And when I close my eyes and feel you rushing by

I know that time brings change and change takes time

And when the sunset comes, my prayer would be just one

That you might pick me up and notice that I am

Just a little smoother in your hand

Rolling River God, little stones are smooth

Only once the water passes through
