Stones in the River Lyrics

The chorus of this song has been in my head all week. I really like this song.

Four years old at his front door he watches while his daddy drives away
He knows that something's wrong when he sees the tears on momma's face
And his whole life will change

Teenage boy just down the road is suffering from choices in his life
He's turning to the Lord changing getting stronger with time
But never knew it was so hard

Like stones in the river we are tossed and turned
When the current moves so strong
But stones in living waters over time
Are shaped until the edges are gone
Polished and smooth that's what we will be
If we put ourselves in God's hands
Each day of our lives is a gift from the Giver
To smooth all the edges like stones in the river

It's been three weeks since the last card of sympathy arrived
Her love of thirty years is gone she wonders how she will survive
On her own
Standing on the curb one winter night they watch their house burn to the ground
The family pictures every keepsake even her wedding gown
All they own is gone

Like stones in the river we are tossed and turned
When the current moves so strong
But stones in living waters over time
Are shaped until the edges are gone
Polished and smooth that's what we will be
If we put ourselves in God's hands
Each day of our lives is a gift from the Giver
To smooth all the edges like stones in the river
The trials of our lives can work for our good
if we let the Savior's love surround us refine us

Like stones in the river we are tossed and turned
When the current moves so strong
But stones in living waters over time
Are shaped until the edges are gone
Polished and smooth that's what we will be
If we put ourselves in God's hands
Each day of our lives is a gift from the Giver
To smooth all the edges like stones in the river
To smooth all the edges like stones in the river
