Stones in the River

歌詞

Four years old at his front door Watches while his daddy drives away He knows that something's wrong When he sees the tears on momma's face And his whole life will change Teenage boy just down the road Suffering from choices in his life He's turning to the lord Changing, getting stronger with time But never knew it was so hard Like stones in the river We are tossed and turned When the current moves so strong But stones in living waters over time Are shaped until the edges are gone Polished and smooth, that's what we will be If we put ourselves in god's hands Each day of our lives is a gift from the giver To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river It's been three weeks since the last card of sympathy arrived Her love of thirty years is gone She wonders how she will survive on her own Standing on the curb one winter night They watch their house burn to the ground Family pictures, every keepsake Even her wedding gown Are they always gone? Like stones in the river We are tossed and turned When the current moves so strong But stones in living waters over time Are shaped until the edges are gone Polished and smooth, that's what we will be If we put ourselves in god's hands Each day of our lives is a gift from the giver To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river The trials of our lives can work for our good If we let the savior's love surround us He'll find us Like stones in the river We are tossed and turned When the current moves so strong But stones in living waters over time Are shaped until the edges are gone Polished and smooth, that's what we will be If we put ourselves in god's hands Each day of our lives is a gift from the giver To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river
