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
