How Deep Is That River - Mason Jennings

How deep is that river?

How deep is that river?

I don’t wanna know where it’s coming from

I don’t need to know where it’s going to

Before I place my trust in You

I just wanna know, how deep?

God said to me what He said to the tree

Grow up towards the light and one day you’ll see

My son Jesus, what did He say?

Love the Lord, your God and God will show you the way

Do unto others like you wanna be done

Look deep in your heart and know that we are one

Singing, how deep is that river?

How deep is that river?

I don’t wanna know how fast it flows

I don’t need to know if it’s safe to swim

Before I put my trust in Him

I just wanna know, how deep?

God came down in the cool of the day

Stirred up the waters and began to play

Before He knew it, man was on the land

With a thought in his head, and a gun in his hand

God saw that man was just a little too rough

So He gave him a heart and filled it up with love

Singing, how deep is that river?

How deep is that river?

Yes

I don’t wanna know if it has a name

I don’t need to know how to cross it yet

Before I get my spirit wet

I just wanna know, how deep, alright

A few years back I lost my way

I was deep in the woods, I began to pray

I came to a river and I sat on its bank

It was cool and clear, I have Jesus to thank

I drank that water, yes, I drank it up

Now every day I come back and fill my cup

Singing, how deep is that river?

How deep is that river?

Yes

I don’t wanna know if it’s yours or mine

I don’t need to know if it’s east or west

Before I put my fears to rest

I just wanna know how deep

How deep is that river?

How deep is that river?

Yes

I don’t wanna know where it’s coming from

I don’t need to know where it’s going to

Before I place my trust in you

I just wanna know how deep

I just wanna know how deep

I just wanna know how deep
