I’d like to say
I met Him by the river
Took a liking right away
Listened to what he had to say
Many people stirring about
Politely quiet, He had no need to shout
But He was one of them
How could they be His fan?
He walked the shore
Then walked away
Went to the hills
A safe place to pray
I didn’t meet Him at the river
Where He spent a lot of time
Only heard about Him later
His words to strangers seemed so much greater
He changed the course of humankind
The humble man from Galilee
River Jordon still remains
It’s flowing a beautiful thing to see
I walked the shore today
My mind dwells on this King
Waves abrading the shore provide music
Background to the songs I sing
