When I Hear the Waves

I know you, fellow pilgrim, by the light in your eyes
We share one destination, united by unseen times
Following the winding river down to the sea
Won't be too much longer 'til we reach Galilee

When I hear the waves breaking on the shore
I'll wash my soul in that sound
When I see the sun rise forevermore
I'll lay my burden down

I saw a rainbow shining like a sign in the sky
Like Noah years before me, I knew the time was nigh
Following the winding river down to the sea
A gospel ship is anchored waiting for you and me

When I hear the waves breaking on the shore
I'll wash my soul in that sound
When I see the sun rise forevermore
I'll lay my burden down

When I hear the waves breaking on the shore
I'll wash my soul in that sound
When I see the sun rise forevermore
I'll lay my burden down
I'll lay my burden down
