River of Joy

Feel the river running wild and free,

Every drop’s a song of you and me.

Sunlight dancing on the water’s face,

Flowing strong with rhythms full of grace.

River of joy, carry me home,

Where the heart feels alive and never alone.

Lift me up on your gentle tide,

In your waves, I’ll always ride.

Children laughing, bells ringing clear,

Music fills the streets, the party’s here.

Brass and piano paint the afternoon,

We’re all dancing to this sweet, lively tune.

River of joy, carry me home,

Where the heart feels alive and never alone.

Lift me up on your gentle tide,

In your waves, I’ll always ride.

Call: “Can you hear the music flow?”

Response: “Yes, it’s lifting my soul!”

Call: “Will you join the joyful crowd?”

Response: “I’ll sing so proud and loud!”

Brass and piano improv with handclaps and light tambourine groove, building energy.

River of joy, carry me home,

Where the heart feels alive and never alone.

Lift me up on your gentle tide,

In your waves, I’ll always ride.
