THE RIVER OF LIFE
(Jonathan Butler)

Jonathan Butler


Yeah, yeah

Every day, I see your face
Like a prayer, I pray each day
That my heart would be whole
And my soul be filled
And my mind nearing you, with you

With your arms open wide, I can see in my mind
Your letter, just waiting for me

I run (I run), I walk (I walk), I fly (I fly), like a bird
I swim (I swim) to the sea (to the sea)
Like a ?????
But I'm drifting away
Yeah, to the river of life
Oh, to the river of life
You're my river of life

Like a tower, you're my grace
Like a shield, fear every place
Surrounding with angels, the millions above
I stand on the mountain top, you show me your love
The glory around you, is all on my head
Keeps me reminding me of everything I've done, everything I said

I walk, I run, I swim, to the sea
I fly (I fly) like a bird, I'm an eagle with wings

And I fly to your arms, deep down inside
And I fly to your arms
You're my river of life
(you're my river, my river, my river)

You're the river of life
(my river, my river, my river)
Yeah

I fly to the river
I run to the ocean sea
I know that you're awaking me
All the sounds that I hear inside of me

Yeah, yeah
So

And I run to the ocean, I circle the sea
To the river of my destiny, to the place where I'll be
Safe in your arms tonight,
To the river of life
(to the river, the river, the river)

Yeah, yeah, river of life,
(the river, the river, the river)
To the river, the river of life
(the river, the river, the river)
The river of, the river of, the river of life
(the river, the river, the river)
Yeah, the river of life
