How many rivers

Gotta pull myself together,
I’m worried ’bout my life
need some time to think it over,
nothing seems all right.
Gotta spend some time in prayer,
slow down for a while.
I sure need to change my ways.
and rearrange my life.

Talking, talking, talking,
talking for too long.
Talking, talking, talking,
I need to move along
well, can you hear me?

How many rivers must I cross before I learn
how many mountains must I climb
talking to you – can you here me=
How many failures must I face before I pray
before I pray, before I pray.

Gobba change my way of living,
let my burden down.
Leave my pain and problems
to the saviour that I found.
Yes, I need this a daily walking,
close to my best friend.
Day by day and step by step,
on him I will depend.

Talking, talking, talking
talking much too loud.
Talking, talking, talking,
I need to shout it out!
well, can you here me?

How many rivers must I cross before I learn
how many mountains must I climb
talking to you – can you here me=
How many failures must I face before I pray
before I pray, before I pray.

We are the children, we wanna praise him, bless him, love him, surely.
We are the servants, we’ll be faithful to our calling, only.
We’ll keep on singing ’cause we need to tell the story,
we must be working while it’s day, and still it’s day!
