I have a friend who's never going to fail me
No matter how I may let him down
Until the end standing there beside me
Whatever I do he'll always be around

That's why I like to go where the glistening waters
Follow on down to where the air is cool
And there to sit and let the mountains hide me
Wash away my tears in a little pool

And meet my lord way down by the river
Where peace and love shin? down from the sky
Meet my lord way down by the river l?t
All my troubles roll on by (roll on by)

I'm going meet my lord way down by the river
Where peace and love shine down from the sky
Meet my lord way down by the river
Let all my troubles roll on by

Once in a while everyone gets lonely
And some of us try to make it on our own
But there's someone just waiting like I've told you
And he is the one who's going to carry you home

So meet your lord way down by the river
Where peace and love shine down from the sky
Meet my lord way down by the river let
All my troubles roll on by (roll on by) yeah

I'm going meet my lord way down by the river
Where peace and love shine down from the sky
Meet my lord way down by the river
Let all my troubles roll roll roll on by
