lyrics

I’m Just passing through,
I won’t be here long, I’ll sing my song and then I’ll move on
To the next bend in the lazy river of love

Won’t you join me on the lazy river of love?
We’re all Just passing through,
We’ll have our moment in the sunshine and then we’ll move on
To the next bend in the lazy river of love

Why don’t we say hello to the people we meet
We can break bread and taste the wheat?
tell our stories
clap out a beat
dance a little
laugh together
make memories
Teach our children wisdom
And if I shed a tear
And share some sorrow
It’s because tomorrow we’ll all be gone
Moving along to the next bend in that lazy river of love

If you’ve never played in the river, let me take you there,
It’s waiting for you; it’s been waiting just for you, for you…and you…
this river has been waiting forever… just for you
Come, abandon your baggage, leave your valuables on the earth
You won’t need them anymore
Once the lazy river takes you, you don’t want for anything on the shore
Everything changes in this river. Everything

That lazy river of love will embrace you, carry you home,
carry you gently over the rocks and stones, over the snags and traps
all is forgiven, all is forgotten, all is faithful
We’re all Just passing through,
We won’t be here long, I’ll sing my song and then I’ll move on
To the next bend in that lazy river of love

That lazy river of love is calling us:
whispering, come to me,
give yourself to me, let me wash you in joy and forgiveness
I will carry you home

I was lost before I came to the lazy river
I was a seed carried on the wind
Now The lazy river of love will guide me
take me to the one place I’ve been seeking since the day I knew my name
To the place where I am beloved.
