Songtext Let the river rise The Union

Let the river rise

(Verse)
Well, I found your hands held at last
With a grip of iron.
When the rain began, I fall up on the fire.
And I've been on the seeds were sawn,
Our world began and changed
And the rain became a hurricane in time.
Best years of my life have passed me by
A taste so bittersweet I could cry.

(Chorus)
See the river rising right before our eyes,
Grip the new horizon and let the river rise.

(Verse)
We break the heat, cry in the street, the Lord's forgotten
And we prayed we'd never see the light again.
As the world moved on we sang freedom songs, Hallelujag.
And the promise of a spring have finally come.
Changes come in waves across the dessert
So let the water wash the past away.

(Chorus)See the river rising right before our eyes,
Grip the new horizon and let the river rise,
Let the river rise.
See the river rising right before our eyes,
Grip the new horizon and let the river rise.
