River of Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, your spirit is strong, but I'm a nervous wreck There's something about you so fragile and delicate If I could wrap up your innocence, I'd have it done quick And keep it from the wolves of this present darkness [Verse 2] Trade your crown of thorns for a crown of joy I was wearing my weariness like a badge of glory You're tradin' your secrets after nothing remains I was checkin' my pockets and countin' my change [Chorus] Now the word's in my ears The wind's up above I will shed my skin When I jump right in To this river of love [Verse 3] You get moved by the Spirit, but I'm so out of touch You're down on your knees, but I'm down on my luck You're doing your labors in the fields of the Lord I'm workin' hard at nothin' in this cheap room and board [Chorus] Now the word's in my ears The wind's up above I will shed my skin When I jump right in To this river of love [Verse 4] Well, your spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak Used to make my pronouncements, now it's harder to speak And dig up a word that is good for the soul 'Cause down in these mines, there's a lot of fool's gold [Chorus] Now the word's in my ears The wind's up above I will shed my skin When I jump right in To this river of love I will jump right in To this river of love I will jump right in To this river of Love
