Sweet River Roll
Josh Garrels

nSweet river roll over mennLet my body find peace and let my mind be freennOh my soul sings to Theenn nnThe wild man he just killed my religionnnHe cut it to the bone like a needed incisionnnThe cancerous growth of formulaic precisionnnThat blocks the life-blood in rebellious collisionnnCold constructs robbing faith from decisionnnBut where’s your rubric for the man that was risennnHe is my vision, he is my vision, be Thou my visionnnWhen the tables have turned, and I’ve lost money, and temples are burnednnBy His scares we will learn about truthnnIn the depths of our souls that are marred by the tooth of a beastnnUnderneath so many deceased, sold out suckers traded life to be yeastnnJust to get a piece or a status increasennFind grace and have peace when you eat the Lords feastnnAnd you eat, of His flesh, and His bloodnnIt’s coming quick and strong as the mightiest floodnnYet my mind still gets stuck in the mudnnBottom feeding on the trash like a catfish, brats wish on all of that whichnnIs established to sit ill in hearts and in our souls, sweet river rollnn nnSweet river roll over mennLet my body find peace and let my mind be freennOh my soul sings to Theenn nnIt’s like the water in the valley, submerged totallynnYet all the children rally around the safety of their shallow beliefsnnLet’s swim against the current out and into the deepnnBut first I pray the Lord for my soul to keepnnThat price payed was not cheap as I stand knee deep in His bloodnnWe’re knee deep in his bloodnnSee, I choose to refuse the regulated rhetoric of someone elses rehearsed idealsnnIn place of a real living commitment, Hell nonnWe put the rock in the water and it made cementnnWe put the water with the wheat and then we made it fermentnnShine light through the rain and a spectrum representnnWe’re pumping water through the veins and the brains contentnnWent down to the river following providencennOld man under water gonna die when he repentsnnOld man under water gonna die when he repentsnnBut there’s a new man coming up with the wings to ascendnnThe son of man walks on water because he’s heaven sentnnI’ve these tears in my eyes as I cry with the joy and lamentnn nnSweet river roll over mennLet my body find peace and let my mind be freennOh my soul sings to Theenn
