lyrics

I keep on drifting down the river of life / and the river covers all
O Lord, that river, its torrent so big / and it seems like I'm so small
The river is deep! Savior, hold me / don't let me wash away
The river is deep! Savior, bless me / be with me every day

This raging river keeps a-movin' me on / and I never see the end
But You can guide me thru the rapids of life / every time I need a friend
The river is deep! And it scares me / to think I could get lost
The river is deep! Savior, guide me / I know it;s worth the cost

If life's a river, you're my savior and guide / when the current seems too swift
Oh God I need you / 'cause the river's too wide / in the night don't let me drift
The river is deep! And it scares me / to think I could get lost
The river is deep! Jesus with me / I know I'm safe with Him.
