Lyrics

The rain will seek the rivers, 
And rivers run to seas, 
While human hearts will wander 
Unfulfilled and restlessly.

The anxious heart must listen, 
for the quiet voice
That whispers, answers, offers,
Calls forth the unforced choice.

to grasp the easy burden, 
God's grace our soul's delight.
Oh, run to claim the promise
Of everlasting life.
