From the recording Kreie Me A River
Demo Pre-release
Lyrics
River is a metaphor
For the timeline of our days
Every wedding, birth, and picnic
On the way
But a river’s swift, a river’s wide
We bow our heads and close our eyes
And we hear the voice of God say
We’ll be fine
Picnic is a metaphor
For the times we laugh and play
With our friends beneath a clear blue sky
All day
But rain can fall on loved one’s lives
We bow our heads and close our eyes
And we hear the voice of God say
They’ll be fine
Astronomers have searched for life
In stars and galaxies
But haven’t found a world like what God
Gifted you and me
Earth is not a perfect place, and
We’re not saints but that’s OK
We passed God’s only test
He chose us to exist
Sky is a metaphor
For the place we’ll go someday
To join the friends we lost
Along the way
And as we leave our earthly lives
We’ll raise our heads, open our eyes
And we’ll walk with God through golden fields
Of heaven
To a river and a picnic with our friends
River is a metaphor
