Thread Name: Lyr Req: God Specializes (Have you any rivers)
Subject: Lyr Add: GOT ANY RIVERS (Oscar C. Eliason)
For the record, here's another post from that name that hymn discussion that provides the words to what the poster alleges to be the verses that the song's composer wrote for "God Specializes". Note that this poster refers to this song as "Got Any River's [sic]"

"To anyone interested- I found the verses to Got Any River's? Written by Oscar C. Eliason Copyright 1945

1. Be of good courage God spake unto Joshua,
When o'er the river God pointed the way.
Jordan uncrossable! things seemed impossible,
Waters divide as they march and obey.

CHORUS: Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can't tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible:
He can do what no others can do

2. Battles to win! they would meet their obstacles,
Jericho's walls, too, must fall to the ground.
God never failed; He stood back of His promises,
Walls had to crumble as the marched around.

3. God is the same and His word is dependable;
He'll make a way through the waters for you.
Life's situations by Him are amendable,
Mountains and hills He will part for you too."
