Let me tell you of the river that flows
Right through the middle of our home
Wending downhill, steady and still
And how when the sun comes singing
The water dances with its melody
We watch it glisten, and all hearts are filled
There is a river

The river speaks without words
To those whose silent language can’t be heard
Cutting the earth with the depths of its love
On the banks of the river I’ve raged
A pile of broken bones; it stayed
And then it carried me until the storm was done
There is a river
There is a river

Oh there is a river that flows
Right through the middle of our home
And it runs deeper than most eyes have seen
Our history, carried downstream
Its path, charted in love and certainty
This is our river
It’s where we call home
