Lyrics

Prayer of the Nine: River of Life
©️May 2023, Drexel Rayford and Melanie Rodgers, Vagrants Chapel Music, BMI


I feel this inner knowing,
Been there since my creation,
I hold it close when chaos swirls outside

It’s like an inner temple
Where quiet stills the clatter
Of all the voices that attempt
To lay a claim on my life.
Lay a claim upon my life.


I see others in upheaval
Who do not share this vision
Of the other side of the mountains that they climb.

Unlike me they can’t imagine
That there’s gold inside their failures
But I fear that if I’d show them
They’d never pay me any mind.
Never pay me any mind


Oh, my Love
Oh, my sight
Blending every color brings the light!
Find the pathway
That leads to find
I’m in that certain flow of your River of Life


Sometimes it’s rather tempting
To hide inside my temple
It’s safe here in this space where I can hide.

I tell myself it doesn’t matter
I don’t have to fight the battles
I don’t have to go and grapple
When the chaos swirls outside
When the chaos swirls outside!

Lift me out of this quicksand
Show me the pathway
That leads me toward the realm of higher ground

Awake my inner power
Unveil my inner vision
That soothes the souls and mends the rips in the wounded all around.
Bring healing all around.

Holy love
Holy sight
Blending every color in the Light
Breathe your power
And now I find
I’m in that certain flow of your River of Life.
