Stones in the River - Doug Walker
[Verse 1]
D A D G
Four years old at his front door Watches while his daddy drives away
D A D G
He knows that something's wrong When he sees the tears on momma's face
Bm A G
And his whole life will change
D A D G
Teenage boy just down the road Suffering from choices in his life
D A D G
He's turning to the lord Changing, getting stronger with time
Bm A G A
But never knew it was so hard
[Chorus]
G D A
Like stones in the river We are tossed and turned
G A D
When the current moves so strong
G D A
But stones in living waters over time
G A D
Are shaped until the edges are gone
G A D G A Bm
Polished and smooth, that's what we will be
A D A
If we put ourselves in god's hands
G A D G A Bm
Each day of our lives is a gift from the giver
A G A G
To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river
[Verse 2]
D A D G
It's been three weeks since the last card of sympathy arrived
D A D G Bm
Her love of thirty years is gone She wonders how she will survive
A G A
On her own
D A D G
Standing on the curb one winter night They watch their house burn to the ground
D
A D G
Family pictures, every keepsake Even her wedding gown
Bm A G A
All they owned was gone
[Chorus]
G D A
Like stones in the river We are tossed and turned
G A D
When the current moves so strong
G D A
But stones in living waters over time
G A D
Are shaped until the edges are gone
G A D G A Bm
Polished and smooth, that's what we will be
A D A
If we put ourselves in god's hands
G A D G A Bm
Each day of our lives is a gift from the giver
A G A G
To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river
[Bridge]
G D G A
The trials of our lives can work for our good
Em D G
If we let the savior's love surround us
A
Refine us
[Chorus]
G D A
Like stones in the river We are tossed and turned
G A D
When the current moves so strong
G D A
But stones in living waters over time
G A D
Are shaped until the edges are gone
G A D G A Bm
Polished and smooth, that's what we will be
A D A
If we put ourselves in god's hands
G A D G A Bm
Each day of our lives is a gift from the giver
A G A G
To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river
A G A G
To smooth all the edges Like stones in the river
