Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 The wind is blowing down the quiet river

 A shining road that carries you alone

 Baby boy my love will last forever

 If you're to live, I must give you up to God.

 I know our God will guide, protect and keep you

 Teach you faith and hold you by the heart

 Though your mother's heart is broken by your leaving

Father knows just who he is and who you are.

 I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way

 With Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay

 But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part

 You must live, so I give you to his heart.

 The wind it blows you down the silent river

 A shining road that leaves me all alone

 A life for you's worth losing you forever

 Some day we'll stand in God's fair land, forever home.

 I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way

 With Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay

 But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part

 You must live, so I give you to his heart.

 I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way

 With Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay

 But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part

 You must live, so I give you to his heart.
