Like A Rushing River

It seems the last couple of weeks have been filled with valleys and mountains, one right after the other. I am tired! I feel like one minute I am crying out and asking God "why" and the next I am shouting out and rejoicing. I feel very worn out and fatigued, but I also still feel like I am grieving and mourning even when I am happy about something unrelated. It has just been weird! Through all of it, I seem to have been drawn to one particular song, "Like A Rushing River" by Misty Edwards. It seems to say what I can not. So, I thought I would share it. It is very long (about 10 minutes playing) but well worth listening to, in my opinion. Below are the words and once I figure out how, I will attach my MP3. It may just take a little while to decipher blogger directions.

Like a Rushing River
Misty Edwards

Like a rushing river am I
Like a raging torrent inside
I find that I’m full of knowing nothing
I find that I’m hungry for the fullness of Christ
Like a rushing river am I
Like a raging torrent inside
I find that I’m free falling again
I’m letting go of the mountain view
Letting go but wanting to
(repeat)

I’ve been crucified with Christ
I’ve been crucified with Christ
I’ve been crucified with Christ
Yet not I, for one thing I know

You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
Just in time
And just in time
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
Just in time
It’s just a matter of time, time
It’s just a matter of time

So into your hands, into your hands I fall
Into your hands, into your hands I fall
Into your hands, so into your hands I fall

For you will make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
Just in time
It’s just a matter of time, time, time
It’s just a matter of time, time, time

On you I wait
On you I wait
On you I wait, all of my days!
On you I wait
On you I wait, always
On you I wait, all of my days!
All of my days!

No one who waits on you will ever be ashamed
No one who waits will ever be disappointed
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time

So calm down my soul
Calm down and know
Calm down my soul
Calm down and know
His yoke is easy
His burden is light
Is simply cost everything
But He’s not too mysterious

It’s not for the wise in their own eyes
It’s not for the mighty or the rich
But He has saved himself for me
He has saved himself for me

So calm down my soul
Just calm down and know
Just calm down my soul
Calm down and know
No one who waits on the Lord will ever be ashamed
For wisdom will be justified
In just a matter of time, time, time
It’s just a matter of time, time, time

And you will make all things beautiful
You will make all things beautiful
You will make all things beautiful
Just in time
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time

Calm down my soul
Be quiet within me
And put your trust in God

From where your help comes from
From where your help comes from
Just calm down my soul and wait
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
