God Is a River Songtext
von Peter Mayer

In the ever-shifting waters of the river of this life
I was swimming seeking comfort, I was wrestling waves to find
A boulder I could cling to, a stone to hold me fast
Where I let the fretful waters of this river ′round me pass
And so I found an anchor, a blessed resting place
A trusty rock I called my savior, there I would be safe
From the river and its dangers and I proclaimed my rock divine
And I prayed to it, "Protect me," and the rock replied

God is a river, not just a stone
God is a wild raging rapids and a slow meandering flow
God is a deep and narrow passage and a peaceful sandy shore
God is a river swimmer, so let go


Still I clung to my rock tightly with conviction in my arms
Never looking at the stream to keep my mind from thoughts of harm
But the river kept on coming, kept on tugging at my legs
'Til at last my fingers faltered and I was swept away
So I′m going with the flow now, these relentless twists and bends
Acclimating to the motion and a sense of being led
And this river is like my body now, it carries me along
Through the ever-changing scenes and by the rocks that sing this song

God is a river, not just a stone
God is a wild raging rapids and a slow meandering flow
God is a deep and narrow passage and a peaceful sandy shore
God is a river swimmer, so let go

God is a river swimmer, so let go
