I love the sound of a brook babbling through the trees
It wanders over rocks just like a gentle breeze
A stream flows ever faster more water joining force
As brooks all funnel to it altering it’s course

The streams become a river which is often deep and wide
Then at times a shallow bed shows rocks that used to hide
Now if that shallow river flows much faster down a hill
The rapid movement of that flow makes surging water thrills

This steady flowing river reminds me of my life
The Holy Spirit runs through me like a river wide
When trials come like rocks ahead and thrills are plain to see
His fruit and gifts will rise up strong to always comfort me

Some people live in the forefront
Their lifestyles are seen and heard
They lead and they teach those who follow
Those who don’t seem to think them absurd

Some people live in the shadows
They are always seen lurking behind
Nobody knows what they’re up to
They hide what’s alive in their minds

Then there are those in a bubble
Who don’t want to know anything
They keep to themselves without learning
Of the way people live and think

If you’re one of those in the bubble
Will you come to know Jesus Christ
You will find that He’s kind and gentle
He will give you eternal life
