Lyrics
NEW RIVER FORMED LONG AGO
AND IT FLOWED SLOWLY DOWN
A STREAM OF CRIMSON MIXED WITH CLAY
COVERED MORE THAN JUST THE GROUND -
AND NOW IT'S ...
HIGHER AND HIGHER /
WIDER MUCH WIDER
REACHING ALL AROUND
AND IT'S DEEPER AND DEEPER / CLOSER MUCH CLOSER
THIS RIVER'S HEAVEN BOUND - IT'S HEAVEN BOUND
NEW RIVER FLOWING FOR US
WASHING STAINS AWAY
BRINGING NEW LIFE -
FREEDOM AND POWER
JUST LONGING FOR THE DAY -
WHEN IT'S ...
HIGHER AND HIGHER /
WIDER MUCH WIDER
REACHING ALL AROUND
AND IT'S DEEPER AND DEEPER CLOSER MUCH CLOSER
THIS RIVER'S HEAVEN BOUND
WAVES OF GRACE
WASHING OVER ME
WAVES OF MERCY
NOW COVER ME
INTERLUDE
HIGHER AND HIGHER /
WIDER MUCH WIDER
REACHING ALL AROUND
AND IT'S DEEPER AND DEEPER / CLOSER MUCH CLOSER
NOW WASHING OVER ME -
NOW WASHING OVER ME
NEW RIVER -
NOW WASHING OVER ME
WASHING OVER ME
