At The River

This is where I'd like to stay,
Where the river is peaceful - like today.
The Sun shines brightly upon my face.
And I long to see you - feel your embrace.

Like the river, I'm very confused,
I keep wondering if I'll win or lose.
Not really knowing which direction to go,
I wait for my answer - it's coming, but slow.

I'll be like the Wind, I'll try to stay calm,
And not lose my vision in the midst of it all.
I'll seek guidance from God - He understands,
He's looking downward with loving hands.

The trees are blowing - so is my mind,
Is this the right kind of love - I'm asking all the time.
I'll have faith in God, He knows what's best,
He knows what I need in the midst of this mess.

Still the Sun shines brightly upon my face,
And I long to see you - feel your embrace.
