Acoustic Folk Art 4, Track 10, 03:01
Rivers
You came along
On a sweet summer’s eve
You were looking for a friend
We talked and we shared
And we laughed and we cried
And I prayed it would never end
Who knows where
Our paths may lead
But the One who plants the seed
Within our hearts and makes it grow
The rivers of our lives
Where will they flow
Only Jesus knows
Only Jesus knows
Doubts and fears
And wonderings
Were tearing you apart
Hopes and dreams
And lasting things
Somewhere in the heart
Who knows where
Our paths may lead
But the One who plants the seed
Within our hearts and makes it grow
The rivers of our lives
Where will they flow
Only Jesus knows
Only Jesus knows
Winter goes and spring begins
Rains come down and the river bends
Where it starts and where it ends
Only Jesus knows
So dream your dreams
And chase your stars
Wherever you may go
Answers to your questions
Some you’ll find
And some you’ll never know
Who knows where
Our paths may lead
But the One who plants the seed
Within our hearts and makes it grow
The rivers of our lives
Where will they flow
Only Jesus knows
Only Jesus knows
You came along
On a sweet summer’s eve
You were looking for a friend
We talked and we shared
And we laughed and we cried
And I prayed it would never end
Who knows where
Our paths may lead
But the One who plants the seed
Within our hearts and makes it grow
The rivers of our lives
Where will they flow
Only Jesus knows
Only Jesus knows
Doubts and fears
And wonderings
Were tearing you apart
Hopes and dreams
And lasting things
Somewhere in the heart
Who knows where
Our paths may lead
But the One who plants the seed
Within our hearts and makes it grow
The rivers of our lives
Where will they flow
Only Jesus knows
Only Jesus knows
Winter goes and spring begins
Rains come down and the river bends
Where it starts and where it ends
Only Jesus knows
So dream your dreams
And chase your stars
Wherever you may go
Answers to your questions
Some you’ll find
And some you’ll never know
Who knows where
Our paths may lead
But the One who plants the seed
Within our hearts and makes it grow
The rivers of our lives
Where will they flow
Only Jesus knows
Only Jesus knows
Song Notes
One of the oldest songs in the series, written in 1980 when I was eighteen and a student at Mizzou (University of Missouri - Columbia). I've made a few updates over the years.
