crossing the river of life

I have found an inner peace

free from the toils that never cease

 

far away the pains have past

free for once to everlast

 

listen to the wind blow free

I listen with my heart you see

 

I could no longer bear

the shedding of my soul to tear

 

the ceaseless pulmelling

the overbearance I could not fling

 

but now my returns are due

through a dark valley I made it through

 

for on the other side there resides

a lasting peace by the riverside

 

cross over the waters of life

come with me , put down your strife

 

let the river sweep away our past

let this river crossing be our last
