La, la, la, la...
I was walking down by the river
I was contemplaning the sky
I was Thingking about forever
And the sweet old by and by
Then I got a funny feeling
That it was nearer than I thought
That if I took another step closer
I would see the face of God
La, la, la, la...
And I wondered if I could do it
And I wondered if I would die
And I wondered if I told someone
Would they think I was telling a lie
And I wondered what He would look like
And I wondered would I be scared
And I think that I wondered a little too long
Cuz I looked up and He wasn't there
La, la, la, la...
Oh, Holy River, carry me away
Bathe me in Your water on this ordinary day
Open up these blinded eyes so that I can see
The angels that are always entertaining me
La, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la...
