Peaceful River

Upon the banks of a peaceful river, Submerged in the purifying waters as each and everyone is baptized in the name of the Holy Ghost. Tranquility of the babbling brook overflowing Doves descend upon everyone who takes the plunge to follow The saving waters that have cleansed the souls of men Forever indebted to the Creator The beginning, middle and end of what was, is and soon to come An eternal sacrifice that followers must endure The power of the Spirit that is within each person’s grasp We cling to the Heavenly essence beyond the white moon and twinkling stars, which measure innumerable in the clear night sky Walking in the footsteps of the Messiah We walk in the path of righteousness Holding steadfast to the promise that The Christ, the Almighty Savior, was sent here to protect His people. His return to the Earth is imminent He will walk among the living, and raise the dead To the Peaceable Kingdom. The River overflows abundantly With grace, majesty and beauty divinely inspired It flows in perfect harmony It does not cease for anyone or anything As one by one we take our cross and diligently trust in Him To guide us all with his mighty compass From East to West and from North to South The River flows inside all of those who abide In the ever patient love that surpasses All earthly understanding We are all born in a life renewed through Him Like newborn babes in our basinet A gentle hand rocks our cradle As the peaceful river of life everlasting, lulls us all to sleep!
