Muddy Ripples
J. Robinson 2015

I went down to the river John the Baptist preaching there.
I saw a man come from the crowd, a dove come from the air.

Well I reached the muddy water
The ripples they don’t shine
Just memories of my old life the one I left behind.

I stepped back in amazement and then I jumped right in.
The cool water all around that cleansed me from my sin.

Well I reached the muddy water
The ripples they don’t shine
Just memories of my old life the one I left behind.

Music

Well life’s not been easy but the burden has been light.
When death comes a knocking
My soul will be all right.

Well I reached the muddy water
The ripples they don’t shine
Just memories of my old life the one I left behind.

Music end

Great stuff Jay. I knew you were a good player but didn't realize you are gifted in songwriting and singing and harp playing as well.

Rack up an even better one.  Excellent song and performance.   It really told the story so I imagined it.  And the harp!~  Nice addition.   That's play in church good.
