Cascading Water, Tuolumne River, Yosemite National Park

25

Wandering, I weary,

And sit me down awhile,

And talk with God,

Resting in his grace.

He gives me a smile

And sings,

"Dance, River, dance.

Dance in the shining light.

Jump and fall to the meadow

And ripple through the night."

So we talk and laugh

And rest in the sun.

We watch the water splash and prance

And when I think we're done,

He sings,

"Dance, River, dance.

Dance in the shining light.

Jump and fall to the meadow

And ripple through the night."

Often now, as I wander,

I sit and rest awhile,

And talk with God, then wander again.

Together we smile

And sing,

"Dance, River, dance.

Dance in the shining light.

Jump and fall to the meadow

And ripple through the night."
