Lyrics

Verse 1
Clouds rolled in on a trembling sky,
Wind sang low like a lonesome cry.
Dust on the road turned to silver rain,
Beating on my windowpane.
I felt that water at my door,
Like trouble I had known before.

Pre-Chorus
Lord, I heard that thunder call my name,
Felt the weight of my shame.

Chorus
When the river started rising, Lord,
And the night got cold and wide,
You were standing on the shoreline,
With Your arms open wide.
When the river started rising high,
You said, “Son, step to My side.”

Verse 2
Neighbors ran with fear in their eyes,
Carrying babies and broken goodbyes.
I stood frozen on sinking ground,
Listening to that roaring sound.
Every sin I tried to hide
Came floating up with the tide.

Pre-Chorus
Lord, I felt that mercy in the rain,
Washing through my pain.

Chorus
When the river started rising, Lord,
And the night got cold and wide,
You were standing on the shoreline,
With Your arms open wide.
When the river started rising high,
You said, “Son, step to My side.”

Bridge
Water climbed to my weary knees,
But Your voice brought me peace.
You said, “Faith can walk on waves,
And grace is strong enough to save.”

Breakdown (Spoken/Sung Softly)
I wasn’t drowning in the flood…
I was drowning in my doubt.
But You pulled me from the deep,
Turned my fear around.

Final Chorus
When the river started rising, Lord,
And I thought I’d surely fall,
You were greater than the waters,
You were stronger than it all.
When the river started rising high,
Your love stood tall.

Outro
Now when storms begin to roll,
I remember who’s in control…
When the river started rising.
