The Saint Beyond The River - Fellowship

For the saint beyond the river

I will take another step

For to see the final thread of life

Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river

I will see the face of God

For the saint beyond the river

Carry on

Memories are brittle at their best

Preserve me through my sword and all the songs within my chest

If I have any voice that carries through

I hope it keeps the words I use

Emblazoned on the winds to carry on

For the saint beyond the river

I will take another step

For to see the final thread of life

Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river

I will see the face of God

For the saint beyond the river

Carry on

The eyes of time have stared at me for years

With half a life to go, I pray that patience conquers fear

Before the dark becomes a part of me

Please take the light that I can leave

And use it as your strength to carry on

For the saint beyond the river

I will take another step

For to see the final thread of life

Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river

I will see the face of God

For the saint beyond the river

Carry on

I gaze to the stars

That shine beyond the river down below

These saints shine against me

As they always seem to do

For who am I if not the son of those I look up to

I gaze through my past beyond the pale and dark of night

I hope the light that comes before

Will save these earthbound eyes, but

If it won’t, I’ll still try

For the saint beyond the river

I will take another step

For to see the final thread of life

Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river

I will see the face of God

For the saint beyond the river

Carry on

For the saint beyond the river

I will take another step

For to see the final thread of life

Will sow my soul again

For the saint beyond the river

I will see the face of God

For the saint beyond the river

For the saint beyond the river

For the saint beyond the river

Carry on
