River of my Life (original)

I wrote this one the other day. I had a pretty stressful week, but it's encouraging to know that God is like a river in that He never stops flowing in the right direction. If you'd just stop fighting the current and let go of the oars, He will carry you home.

River of my Life ©2008

I don't always know where I'm going
the boat is sinking, but I just keep on rowing

Cause the boat will always float
as long as I know
that you will carry me through thick and thin
til you bring me home

*God, you are the river of my life
flowing deep inside
the mountains of my soul
God, you wash all the rocks away
and calm the rapids on my way to find you
O God, the river of my life

The holes in the boat are growing larger
the boat is sinking, but I row that much harder

Cause your currents flowing strong
and you've been here all along
now I'm done trying to go back upstream
away from your love

*chorus*

*little bridge thing*

*end chorus*

PS. Thunder, I dunno if that's good or bad. God's applause? I hope so! :S
