I ‘m a stone in the midst of rushing river

Smoother now from water flowing over me…

Yet, it seems love, the true, sweet love of a man, evades me…

I allow the river of life to flow over me with His changing waters

To wash, to cleanse, to refresh

My thirsty, thirsty single soul.

Many days there’s joy in this simple life I lead,

Yet this heart longs to share the joys, with a man

Sent from the heart of God.

So on and on the River flows

Will I allow His current to take me

Where it will?

Yes, I choose to trust the rushing river’s current

will take me where I’m designed to go

And knows who I’m meant to travel with

On the rushing river

Of life.
