Light At The River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a deep silent river flowin' just beyond and its waters are deep and wide
It's as dark as the night but my eyes see a light just down by the river side
There's a light at the river a light at the river a light at the river I can see
My Lord will stand and hold in his hand a light at the river for me
[ steel ]
To this deep silent river I have come on my knees I'm afraid for I know I've sinned
But the beckoning light leads me on through the night
To the waters where my soul may be cleansed
There's a light at the river...
[ guitar ]
I can hear His voice saything come unto me dip your wings in the misty tide
Then we'll pass o'er deep and you'll never more weep in your home on the other side
There's a light at the river...
A light at the river for me
