Crossing Rivers

Came along a bridge There's a man he stands Holds out his hands He says pay the river man Not gold but silver Here's a dime for your time Scared alone and lost Knowing this river I must cross Upon the fairy Stared behind as we came across What would I find Came to a prairie Somethings wrong somethings not right There's a road I see It's dark has no light Walked along the way There's another river to cross This time there's no man But a woman draped in white Her eyes blind has no sight She glows in the night She said you must have paid the river man silver not gold Come along take my hand I'll bring you across I wonder how does she know She said child I know Just cause I'm blind I can see further then your mind would ever Your not living but dead The rivers are full of souls that are lost Who didn't pay who couldn't come across It's hells hole can't you tell by the smell no longer living not even alive They cry Come along Your guardian angel that's me I'll take you to a place you'll forever be Safely Don't look down just follow me Dont look back because that was and will never be You are now at home many Rivers you've crossed Many times you have been lost But searched for the Lord You've carried your cross Made it across Never alone scared are lost Your home where you'll for ever be You paid the river man Not gold but silver And you've found me Come come along And I'll bring you home. Where God is waiting patiently
