“Peaceful River” Words and Music by Marty Falle and Jonathan Holmberg/ ISRC: TCAJZ2515673 (3:24)

Verse 1:

I will make my home where the peaceful river flows. Lay my body on the shore so I can rest my soul

Please promise me when it comes my time to go. I can spend my final days where the peaceful river flows

Verse 2:

Yes I will make my home where the peaceful river flows. And I can hear the angels sing and walk the streets of gold

With trumpets loudly sounding never more to roam. I'm on my way to glory where the peaceful river flows

Out on the river faith is keeping me afloat. Drifting on to heaven. My heart is full of hope

Chorus:

Drawing nearer to the shoreline I am almost home. Spending all eternity where the peaceful river flows.

Verse 3:

I will make my home where the peaceful river flows. Where all my sins are washed away. The Lord has saved my soul

Leavin’ all my burdens/ in the valley down below. Looking towards the heavens where the peaceful river flows

The road is rough and narrow, but I walk it sure and slow. I will keep on walkin’ till the Lord tells me to go

Chorus:

Drawing nearer to the shoreline I am almost home. Spending all eternity where the peaceful river flows.

Spending all eternity where the peaceful river flows.
