There`s a deep silent river flowin` just beyond and its waters are deep and wide
It`s as dark as the night but my eyes see a light just down by the river side
There`s a light at the river a light at the river a light at the river I can see
My Lord will stand and hold in his hand a light at the river for me
[ steel ]
To this deep silent river I have come on my knees I`m afraid for I know I`ve sinned
But the beckoning light leads me on through the night
To the waters where my soul may be cleansed
There`s a light at the river...
[ guitar ]
I can hear His voice saything come unto me dip your wings in the misty tide
Then we`ll pass o`er deep and you`ll never more weep in your home on the other side
There`s a light at the river...
A light at the river for me
