Cross the River    L Dunn © ‘11

Verse
Church bells ringing in the town square
Calling the faithful to gather there
Dressed up in their Sunday best
To give praise on this day of rest
In the name of the almighty, God fearing souls
Chorus
Come to pray they’ll cross the river…pray they will cross
They will cross the river…cross the river
Pray they’ll cross the river to where milk and honey flow
Cross the river to the Promised Land
Verse
Some have lived a stained and checkered past
They’ve finally come to see the light at last
Once lost in temptation, pride and boast
Are givin’ it up in the name of the Holy Ghost
Born again believers in the hell fire below
Chorus
Come to pray they’ll cross the river…pray they will cross
They will cross the river…cross the river
Pray they’ll cross the river to where milk and honey flow
Into a Promised Land
Bridge
When the seven seals have all been broken on the Holy Scroll
And seven angels pour down wrath as seven thunders roll
When the seven headed beast has burned in the lake of fire below
The Lamb will finally be avenged when seven trumpets blow
Verse
 Some carry the weight down a difficult road
 No matter the struggle they’ve shouldered the load
 From down in the belly of the cold and deep
 Comes a tale they could tell make a strong man weep
 How they found the strength, God only knows
Chorus
 It will carry them across the river…carried across
 Carry them across the river…cross the river
 Carry them across the river to where milk and honey flow
 Cross the river to the Promised Land
