[Verse 1] I was walkin' down a dusty road With a pocket full of yesterday, Tryin' to buy a little peace of mind From every booth along the way. But the merchants all kept changin' names, And the prices climbed so high, Till I heard a voice like summer rain Rollin' down from the sky. [Chorus] Come to the water if you're thirsty, Come to the river if you're dry, Why spend your silver on the shadows When the wine and milk are free tonight? The door is open, the table's ready, The feast is spread beneath the stars, Come to the water, weary traveler, The road ain't nearly half as far. [Verse 2] Well the mountains started singin' low, And the cedars clapped their hands, Even the stones beside the trail Seemed to understand the plan. The thornbush by the fence row Turned to evergreen somehow, And every place I'd written off Looked like holy ground now. [Chorus] Come to the water if you're thirsty, Come to the river if you're dry, Why spend your silver on the shadows When the wine and milk are free tonight? The door is open, the table's ready, The feast is spread beneath the stars, Come to the water, weary traveler, The road ain't nearly half as far. [Bridge] Now my thoughts were little rowboats Driftin' circles in the fog, But His thoughts rolled in like oceans Too deep to measure from the dock. I quit tryin' to chart the currents, Quit tellin' heaven where to flow, And found the river knew exactly Every place I needed to go. [Verse 3] There's a kindness in the wild wind, A mercy in the rain, A song beneath creation Callin' everybody by their name. And the farther that I wander, The more I'm sure it's true: The road was never leadin' me to Him, He was leadin' me all through. [Final Chorus] Come to the water if you're thirsty, Come to the river if you're dry, Leave your bargains on the roadside, There's a better deal tonight. The hills are laughin', the trees are dancin', The whole world's hummin' in the dark, Come to the water, weary traveler, And let the river find your heart. [Outro] The mountains sing... The cedars clap... The river rolls... And it ain't turnin' back... No, it ain't turnin' back... 🌹⚡️
