River God

Rolling River God
Little Stones are smooth
Only once the water passes through
So I am a stone
rough and grainy still
Trying to reconcile this river's chill

CHORUS:
But when I close my eyes
and feel you rushing by
I know that time brings change
and change takes time
And when the sunset comes
my prayer would be just this one
that you might pick me up
and notice that I am
just a little smoother in your hand

Sometimes raging wild
sometimes swollen high
never have I known this river dry
The deepest part of you
is where I want to stay
and feel the sharpest edges wash away

River God - Nichole Nordeman

Every trial that we go thru washes some of our sharp edges away. Often it takes a long time for change to be seen, but never doubt that change is happening. Look at the big picture and realize that we only become smooth when the river passes thru. It is God who is using all that happens in our lives to smooth us and make us who He wants us to be. God is always looking out for good. He will never fail.
