Where the River Will Never Run Dry

Lately, we have been playing a lot of Yahtzee. Though it is a dice game, with a lot left up to chance, we can get a bit competitive :)

Well, last night we were playing and listening to Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion. He had a few different groups that were duos and each one performed and then the audience and listeners voted on which one was their favorite. We had no idea we were tuning in to the annual Duet Singers Competition!

We did not vote, but I immediately recognized this song as one of my favorites on a Pandora station of mine. These lyrics are just beautiful, paralleled only by the singing of Mamuse.

And, at the end of the show, they won!

Perfect song for this blogger and her love for the river. Recently I let my "river" get far too dry and therefore have had to revamp. It's been a journey and it's not over yet... here's just another beautiful song to touch the soul.

Hallelujah by Mamuse

Album: All the Way
Every time I feel this way
This, old familiar sinking
I will lay my troubles
Down by the water
Where the river
Will never run dry

Hallelujah Hallelujah (I’m gonna let myself be lifted, I’m gonna let myself be lifted)
Hallelujah (I’m gonna let myself be lifted)
Bye and bye
I will lay my troubles down by the water
Where the river will never run dry

It’s been said and I do believe
As you ask so shall you receive
So take from me these troubles
Bring me sweet release
Where the river will never run dry

Hallelujah Hallelujah (I’m gonna let myself be lifted, I’m gonna let myself be lifted)
Hallelujah (I’m gonna let myself be lifted)
Bye and bye
I will lay my troubles down by the water
Where the river will never run dry

There is a river
In this heart of hearts
With a knowingness
Of my highest good
I am willing
I will do my part
Where the river
Will never run dry

Hallelujah Hallelujah (I’m gonna let myself be lifted, I’m gonna let myself be lifted)
Hallelujah (I’m gonna let myself be lifted)
Bye and bye
I will lay my troubles down by the water
Where the river will never run dry

Where the river
Will never run dry
This river
Will never run dry
