I Would Crawl All The Way (To The River)

(album: Fancy Free - 1981)

A long time ago there was a Man
Who laid down His life on the line
He claimed He could make the lame walk again
And give back the sight to the blind
Now some people loved Him
Some people wanted to take Him and put Him away
Well I wasn't there to see what he did
But if He were right here today

I would crawl all the way to the river
I would crawl all the way to the sea
Just to watch Him walk on the water
And lay His loving hands on me

A carpenter by trade but the kingdom that He made
Was build without hammer and nails
It stands like a rock through the ages of time
It was built with the Love that never fails
I've read in the Good Book that some day He's coming
And some say it ain't far away
But the day that He stands on the banks of the Jordan
This sinner will be on his way
