Riverbend

vs.1                                         Lord, you know that it’s been awhile

Tryin’ to find my way back home

I was beat up and battered, bruised and broken,

Bound and burdened, by my own accord,

Tryin’ to find my way back home

Bridge1                                  But you came and found me, you came and found me,

You came and found me, and led me back to my home                               

vs.2                                         With your hand I was healed, unfettered,

And pointed in the way to go

Tryin’ to find my way back home

From a path that was well travelled

To a narrow, unassuming road

Tryin’ to find my way back home

Bridge2                                  But I came to water, I came to water

I came to water, across the path to my home x2

Chorus                                   I went into a river I’d never been

Up to my knees when someone dunked me in

I came out of the water, cleansed from within

Saw my old reflection fade around the riverbend

You reached into the river took my hand

Pulled me from the water back onto dry land

As we followed the shoreline I looked ahead

Saw my old reflection fade around the riverbend

You are my saviour you are my Lord

You came and saved me you are Lord

Bridge3                                  You came and found me

and brought me back to my home.
