River of Hope
Words and Music by Susan J Paul
A river runs through all of us
Flowing to the sun
Flowing through the heart
Til we are one
Refrain:
There’s a river of hope
There’s a mountain of peace
There’s an ocean of joy
Waiting somewhere for me
If I trust in my God
Not what I see but what I know
I will always find
A river of hope
I journey to the hear of life
To the river of hope, the face of Christ
Where all of life blesses me and
All of love sets me free
Somewhere deep inside of me
There’s a place that gives me all I need
Refrain
The voice within guides me home
Assuring me I’m never alone
Where I go I carry love
Wherever I am, I am in love
Somewhere deep inside of me
There’s a place that gives me all I need
I know
There’s a River
I know
There’s a River
I know
There’s a River of Hope
As I walk along this path
Remind of who I am
I’m a child of light born out of love
Here to know we all are one
Somewhere deep inside of me
There’s a place that gives me all I need
I stand and raise my hands to you
I sing, I laugh, I dance for you
And on the days that I may cry
I gather my tears and lift them high
Somewhere deep inside of me
There’s a place that gives me all I need
Water of life purify me
Holy river flow through me
Reaching, swirling, glorious food
Surround me spirit, drown me in love
Somewhere deep inside of me
There’s a place that gives me all I need
The kingdom of love is at hand
The kingdom is now in our hands
Nothing is wasted, nothing’s lost
All s made perfect through the one cross
Somewhere deep inside of me
There’s a place that gives me all I need
