Here by the Water
Music and Lyric by Jim Croegaert
© 1986 Rough Stones Music
Soft field of clover
Moon shining over the valley
Joining the song of the river
To the great giver of the great good
As it enfolds me
Somehow it holds me together
I realize I’ve been singing
Still it comes ringing
Clearer than clear
And here by the water
I’ll build an altar to praise Him
Out of the stones that I’ve found here
I’ll set them down here
Rough as they are
Knowing You can make them holy
Knowing You can make them holy
Knowing You can make them holy
I think how a yearning
Has kept on returning to move me
Down roads I’d never have chosen
Half the time frozen
Too numb to feel
I know it was stormy
I hope it was for me learning
Blood on the road wasn’t mine though
Someone that I know
Has walked here before
love this song. just d/l from Itunes. thanks!
I’m preaching on 1 Peter 2:4-10 this week, and the lyrics “And here by the water
I’ll build an altar to praise Him
Out of the stones that I’ve found here
I’ll set them down here
Rough as they are
Knowing You can make them holy” really fits the theme…
Cheers

Jon Buller and Mike Janzen played this at Vernon Alliance November 9, 2013 and it goes on the VAC website to download after the service… downloaded, and loving it and other songs you’ve been involved with. Thanks for sharing such great talent.
