The River

There's a river ever flowing

Widening, never slowing

And all who wade out in are swept away

When it ends, where it's going

Like the wind no way of knowing

Until we answer the call to risk it all and enter in

The river calls, we can't deny

A step of faith is our reply

We feel the spirit draw us in

The water's swift, we're forced to swim

We're out of control

And we go where he flows

There's a river ever flowing

Widening, never slowing

And all who wade out in are swept away

When it ends, where it's going

Like the wind no way of knowing

Until we answer the call to risk it all and enter in

Danger awaits at every turn

We choose a course, we live and learn

As we surrender to His will

We're at peace but we're seldom still

He is in control

And we go where he flows

There's a river ever flowing

Widening, never slowing

And all who wade out in are swept away

When it ends and where it's going

Like the wind no way of knowing

Until we answer the call to risk it all

Until we answer the call to risk it all

There's a river ever flowing

Widening, never slowing

And all who wade out in are swept away

When it ends and where it's going

Like the wind no way of knowing

Until we answer the call to risk it all

Until we answer the call to risk it all

It's widening, never slowing

Will we answer and risk it all?

There's a river ever flowing, ever flowing

Be swept away
