The wind is blowing down
the quiet river,
a shining road that carries you alone.
Baby boy my love will last forever.
If you're to live,
I must give you up to God.
I know our God will guide,
protect and keep you.
Teach you faith
and hold you by the heart.
Though your mother's heart
is broken by your leaving,
her Father knows just who
he is and who you are.
I wish that
life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love at stake
and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan
might be the missing part
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.
The wind is blowing down the silent river,
a shining road that leaves me all alone.
A life for you's worth losing you forever.
Some day we'll stand in God's fair land,
forever home.
I wish that
life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love
at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan
might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.
I wish that
life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love
at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan
might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.
