I've found me a river to run and hide,
when the troubles of life overtake me, when fear is nigh.
When the troubles of life overtake me, I've learned to pray.
I ask my guiding spirits, make safe the way.
I go to the river, to shed my tears. When I am filled with grief, and harm is near.
When I am filled with grief, fill me with joy. Fill me with songs of hope, your love employ.
I've found a river to shed my tears, I've found a place to calm my fears,
I've found a river to call my home, I've found a place to be alone.
River run through my soul, river run through my soul.
River wash over me, river wash over me, my lord.
Wash over me oh river, river was over me.
Take me to the river, take me lord to pray, be for me a pillar, make safe the way.
Please keep your promise, say you will be near. Never to leave me, say you will be here.
I go to the river, I go to the river.
The river is deep, the river is wide, the river is deep and wide so I can hide.
The river soothes my troubled soul, it heals my aching body, but not my soul.
The river runs through my soul, the river runs through my soul.
River runs through my soul, river soothes and heals my troubled soul.
I've found, oh yes I've found, I've found me a river lord.
I've found a river lord, my lord.
