Gentle River

Gentle River,
running through my days,
Teach me to listen closely to thy ways;
Grow thy loving fruit upon
this human shore,
That brings thy love and peace
forevermore.
Give to me thy gentle loving touch,
That reaches out to love another much.
Soften this rock heart in this human
river bank of mine,
So that I can hear thy call Divine;
Draw me closer to thee,
O' Gentle stream,
To tell my heart
that You are not just a dream,
Come Holy Spirit,
Thou river so sweet and clear,
And fill me and use me
in Thy work so dear.

Chuck McKay, November 1993
