Rolling River God
Little Stones are smooth
Only once the water passes through
So I am a stone
rough and grainy still
Trying to reconcile this river's chill
But when I close my eyes
and feel you rushing by
I know that time brings change
and change takes time
And when the sunset comes
my prayer would be just this one
that you might pick me up
and notice that I am
just a little smoother in your hand
Sometimes raging wild
sometimes swollen high
never have I known this river dry
The deepest part of you
is where I want to stay
and feel the sharpest edges wash away

agree with Catherine.
"rought and grainy still, trying to reduce this river's chill.." hit me right there. good stuff sweetie.
"and feel the sharpest edges wash away..."
sometimes my sharp edges get so depressing and I am overwhelmed at how much he covers us and changes us with his love. thanks for sharing (i'm a dork and had not heard of n.nordeman)

Love this song! Nichole is an amazing lyricist.
Thanks Lindsey! Yep, I took the photo. Was messing with my shutter speed and the flowing water.
Love that song! Now I need to go listen to it....
