The River
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

THE RIVER

Did you dive into The River
Did the Water take You down
Were you drowning in Forever
As the Sun was going down?
Did you listen to the Word?
Do you remember what you heard?
Did you take up the Sword
Before the Coming of the Lord?

Did you walk into Battle
Did you sit tall in the saddle
Did you Sing her a Lullaby
Before you said goodbye?
Were you a Merchant for the King
Before you lost most everything?
Buried underneath the Stone
Did you make your way Home alone?

Have you prepared for His Arrival
As it is Written in the Bible
Feel the Rapture on the Judgment Day
Don't fade away or take away
If they capture you, Surrender
Your Soul’s Return to Sender
Infinity eternally
At the Bottom of the River

Everything that you Believe
Is right around the bend
You will find Tranquility
Right at the Bitter End
The Secrets are unspoken
In the coming days of Winter
I'll wait for you with arms wide open
When it's Time to cross the River
