Song - Wide River to Cross

The sound hits me first then I listen intently.  When the music, voice & lyrics are in perfect unison then I have heard a profound song.  I don't listen to bluegrass that often, but I do like this type of music.  My favorite lines are "But I'm just a refugee, won't you say a prayer for me? & 'Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls."  I love most types of music, but mostly I listen to Christian.  I like uplifting music, although there are many songs out there that are just bad for your soul and have no value in the Kingdom.  This song is a beautiful picture of the struggles we go through in life and yet we shouldn't veer off course.  The end game is far to valuable for us to steer away from our destiny. 

Wide River to Cross by Balsam Range

There's a sorrow in the wind
Blowing down the road I've been

I can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun

But I can not look back now
I've come too far to turn around

And there's still a race ahead that I must run

I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find the things I have lost
I've come a long long road still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide wide river to cross

I have stumbled, I have strayed
You can trace the tracks I made
All across the memories my heart recalls
But I'm just a refugee, won't you say a prayer for me?
'Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls


I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on
To where I'll find the things I have lost
I've come a long long road still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide wide river to cross

I've come a long long road still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide wide river to cross
