V1
I've heard of places where the water never dries
It flows beneath a throne into lovers' eyes
I've heard of places where the people never cry
Where trees can heal the world and give eternal life
Pre1
I've faced a lot but overcome
'Cause I know this is not my home
C1
River, take me to the river
Take me to the place where love turns into life
Forever, let me taste forever
Let me taste the fruit of all the tears I've cried
V2
I hear the voices of a living history
Cheering on each side, shouting victories
I hear the thunder of a choir chorusing
Giving praise to God, ready for a feast
Pre2
I've faced a lot but looked beyond
'Cause this is not where I belong
C2
River, take me to the river
Take me to the place where love turns into life
Forever, let me taste forever
Let me taste the fruit of the promised tree of life
'Cause I know there's more than meets the eye
On this side of our lives
Br
We were made for paradise
We were never meant to die
We were made to walk with God
Jesus, you paid the sinner's price
You died to give us life again
C3
Savior, take me to the savior
Take me to the one who died to give me life
Made for, this is what I's made for
This is what He came for, living by His side
'Cause I know there's more than meets the eye
Yes I know there's more than meets the eye
On this side of our lives
River, take me to the river
Take me to the place where love turns into life
Forever, let me taste forever
Let me taste the fruit of all the tears I’ve cried
