A song reflecting how life and a flowing river are very similar. Sometimes it flows along very calm, and then sometimes we have to go through some rapids.
Let's just call it a "Cyber Ministry"!!!!
Story behind the song
While thinking what would compare with our lives, a river came to mind since it has a beginning and an end. And as it makes its way to the sea there are calm, peaceful times and then there may be some rocky rapids and waterfalls along the way. But one thing is certain, there will be that one final bend and then it becomes part of a bigger body of water; usually the sea. We too will one day reach that final bend in life and we too will be become part of something much bigger; its called eternity and we will spend it in one of two places...........
Lyrics
The River
©2008 Duane Rod
The river is born and begins to flow
From high on a hill or a valley down low
Running for miles, wild and free
Determined to reach its final destiny
It meets many things along the way
Mile after mile, day after day
Wide slow bends flowing calm and slow
Then over the edge to the rocks below
CHORUS
The river is a mirror of a journey called life
The peaceful streams, the rapids of strife
Around the final bend over one last fall
Into the sea of heaven, our final call
Life is like the river, flowing downstream
Some times are calm, others cruel and mean
There's rocks and rapids and steep waterfalls
Sometimes it seems to make no sense at all
But all rivers reach that one final end
Into the sea, around the last bend
But in the Good Book, He said if we believe
We'd flow into His arms, into the heavenly sea
