Into each life
They say some rain must fall
Well, I don't mind
A little rain at all
But forty days and forty nights
With no ark in sight...
(CHORUS:) I will run to the river
Lay down beside it
I will run to the river
It's too strong to fight it
I will run to the river and pray...
You take me across
Too many storms
Have washed my faith away
Too little faith
Has led my soul astray
But when the thunder rolls in
God knows I can't swim
So...
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE:) Take me across
To the other side
Where the sun shines through
And love can't hide
Take me back
To where I belong
Take me home...
I have become
An exile in this land
Not by choice
But still I understand
That when the flood waters rise
Like tears in God's eyes...
CHORUS X 2)
Run to the river
Take me across
Won't you lift me up...
