Lyrics
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, it blows you down the silent river
A shining road that leaves me all alone
A life for you, is 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
