the river of life

[cindy paulos]

Within each breath of spirit

Within the power of light

As the energy of being becomes it

And you flow through the river of life

 

There is nothing to hold on to

As through the sands of time we fly

So we sit and in silence we experience it

And we jump into the river and hide

 

And we are bathed by the baptism of fire and water

And we breathe deep the breath of God

And we believe in the sacred creation on Earth

And in each moment we become what we find

 

And in each drop of water

There is a reflection that it holds

And we are alive in that reflection

And we are the spirit that lets it go

 

For there is a river that carries us

Across to the other shore

And there is the blessed baptism

That cleanses us so we can be reborn once more

 

I hear the sound of the river

And it calls me to watch the flow

And the Sweet waters of life cleanse me

And purify my heart and soul

 

Til I Release the Breath that gives me life

Until I can come to see

Within each breath of Spirit

There’s a part of God in me

 

And I believe, and I become

 the One that sets us free

with the energy that lives within all life

the expression of God in me
