Larry Norman - Down The Line lyrics

The river is deep, and the river is wide But I'm gonna cross over when I see my ride 'Cause I got a home on the other side When the time has come I'll close my eyes Shut out that world with all its lies And I'll lay me down until I rise When I awake I'll see his face Of this world's tears there'll be no trace He'll take us to a better place My dearest friends keep up the fight Resist the darkness, and do what's right And when you stand up, walk in the light This world is filled with sorrow There's trouble everywhere But do not be dismayed Nor weak and in despair He knows all that has happened And what you're going through You're covered in his love And he won't let go of you Speak from your heart and let it shine And let God's will be done, not thine So I can see you once again on down the line The river is deep, and the river is wide I'm gonna cross over when I see my ride 'Cause I got a home on the other side Speak from your heart and let it shine And let God's will be done, not thine So I can see you once again on down the line
