The River

Rebecca

Verse 1

Flowing, twisting round the bend

Slowly discovering who I am

In the distance, dark clouds are forming

Could this, could this be a warning

 

Pre-chorus 1                           

Storm overwhelming, raining, pouring

Lightening Striking and thunder roaring

Crisis is here, my banks are breaking

 

Chorus 1

Which way will I turn, and where will I go?

All choices seem lost to me       

Who will come and hear my plea

How much longer must I wait?

I feel like I’m bursting,

It won’t be long till I’m overflowed,

I just need some hope

 

Verse 2

I’m forever changing, my path is my own

I don’t fit into a box, show me where I need to go,

I can’t do this alone, come help this river grow

Restore my banks, repair my soul

Return me to a steady flow

 

Pre-chorus 2

Storm withdrawing, rain stops pouring

Sun is shining a new day dawning

Crisis adverted, my banks are blooming

 

Chorus 2

I know where to turn, I know where to go 

Choices are open to me

You came and listened to my plea

No longer have to wait

I feel heard and restored

I feel I can go on some more

Now hope is at my door (x3)
