WATERS ROLL Sung by: Neal Morris Recorded in Mountain View, AR 8/20/59 Click here to listen to the original recording And pass to the southern shore, But oh, what a wonderful change has come By the calm of the water's roll. Chorus: Waters roll, waters roll, As we pass to the other shore. Waters roll, waters roll, As we pass to the other shore. Into the salving flow, A wearisome soul must go, But the surges sifting o'er that soul Must pass to the other shore. (Chorus) Jesus, the Master, spoke Unto the wild water, "Be still." And the waves in harmless riplets blowed, Becalmed by the Master's will. (Chorus) |
