Tonic Sol-Fa - The River is Wide Lyrics

Well I walked to the crossroads
Through the dust and the rain
With my head hung down for every choice I had made
And I cried to nobody
Take this burden from my hands
If you can help me one time Lord, won't you help me understand

Hold back the rising tide
Come to me dressed in white
I'll stand on the bank tonight
For the river is wide
Angels don't fail me know
The water falls anyhow
And the river is wide, the river is wide

Now with my suitcase in hand
These old boots in the sand
I'm gonna walk to the other side
Kick the dirt from my shoes
And I'll say "What's the use"
A broken man he ain't got no pride

Hold back the rising tide
Come to me dressed in white
I'll stand on the bank tonight
For the river is wide
Angels don't fail me know
The water falls anyhow
And the river is wide, the river is wide

Hold back the rising tide
Come to me dressed in white
I'll stand on the bank tonight
For the river is wide
Angels don't fail me know
The water falls anyhow
And the river is wide, the river is wide
