Hiatt, John - The River Knows Your Name Lyrics






Oh the river knows your name
And your tears falling like the rain
All around you suffering and pain
Oh the river knows your name

And the river hears you cry
As the lightning cracks the open sky
As your Momma sings a lullaby
Oh the river she knows why

Let the river wash you down
Beneath the surface with a rushing sound
Like a freight train passing through a town
Let the river wash you down

Let the river take away
All the words you and I could never say
In the silence Darling let us pray
Let the river take it all away

Oh the river she knows your name
From the Brazos to the Wabash to the Seine
No two journeys are ever quite the same
But the river knows your name
Oh the river knows your name

     8 questions i have to ask GOD
    Does the tree know the moss that clings to it ?
    Does the creek know the ashes that swirl in it ?
    Does the mountain know the snow that covers it ?
    Does the stone know the wind which shaped it  ?
    Does the ravine know the water that carved it ?
    Does the tree Know the sun which feeds it ?
    Does the camel know the water that sustains it ?
    Does the mind know the creator who it belongs too ?

    g.... ....

    @go2mark first seven are absolute truths; the last one is the aim of creation

    Ecclesiastes 1:7 All the rivers flow into the sea; yet the sea is not full; the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again. galations 5:6 The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. God love is like that ocean view no matter how hard you look no matter how sharp your eyes ,you canot see its end. GOD OCEAN OF LOVE
