There's a path behind my house that leads to a forest Where the trees block the sunlight from shining through And sometimes I go walking down the long and narrow trail And the deeper I go I fear that I won't find my way back to the stream
That I depend on to show me where I am To lead me from this unfamiliar land It's been flowing since time began
(chorus) And I stand beside the water with my feet upon the sand And I watch it as it flows like the blood from His hand And it gives me my direction that leads me home again So I will follow the stream
There's a road that I travel that takes me to the city Where the buildings block the sun from shining through And things move so quickly I can hardly catch my breath And the faster I go I feel that I won't find my way back to the stream
That I depend on to show me where I am An oasis in a dry and barren land It's been flowing since time began
(chorus)
When I'm far beyond where I should be not knowing what to do I just let the water carry me, carry me to You It gives me my direction that leads me home again So I will follow the stream
It will lead me home I will follow it back to You I will follow the stream And I stand beside the water with my feet upon the sand And I watch it as it flows like the blood from His hand And it gives me my direction and leads me home again So I will follow the stream
And I will follow you home Follow you home Follow you home I will follow the stream
