Lyrics by Linda Marcus


RIVER IN JUDEA
(Linda Marcus, lyrics)

Oftentimes I dream of music,
Of the river that freely flows.
And it sings a song sweeter than honey,
One everybody knows.
Late at night, I hear it singing.
Then again when I wake at dawn.
And it fills me up with hope and goodwill,
The will to go on,
Go on.

(Chorus)

There is a river in Judea
That I heard of long ago.
And it's a singing, ringing river
That my soul cries out
To know.
I believe it keeps on trav'lin'
But it rests on the Sabbath day.
And the time when it pauses in stillness,
I almost hear it pray.
When I'm weary and downhearted,
How I long for the song it sings,
For the calm within its gentle blue,
The peace that it brings, it brings.

(Chorus)

There is a river in Judea
That I heard of long ago.
And it's a singing, ringing river
That my soul cries out
To know.
May the time not be too distant
When we meet by the river (meet by the) shore.
'Til then dream of that wonderful day
As we sing once more, once more:

(Chorus)

There is a river in Judea (hallelu)
That I heard of long ago (hallelu),
It's a singing, ringing river
That my soul cries out (my soul cries out)
To the river in Judea.

(optional repeat)

Hallelujah!!!

Listening to the poetic flow of spoken words in the lyrics of A River in Judea, brings to mind a river of gratitude to the healing power of water, the power of water imagery and a stream of prayers. Especially now when the WATERS of the world are crying for help we need to sing back to the water and tune into the waves of a healing thoughts
PS
A quick prayer from Dr. Masaru Emoto for the Gulf of Mexico

My 16-year-old son was in tears this morning about the devastation in the Gulf of Mexico.
I told him about how water responds to intention and suggested that we pray to the water itself. Let us all suspend our hatred and anger for the moment and let the intention for healing arise. This is what is most needed at this moment

             Dr. Masaru Emoto's research reveals that water physically responds to emotions   and communications. He sends this prayer. To speak it with sincerity is powerful and humbling:" Now let's give energy of love and

gratitude to the waters and all the living creatures in the Mexico Gulf by praying like this": To the water, whales, dolphins, pelicans, fishes, shellfishes, planktons, corals, algae and all creatures in our Gulf of Mexico


I apologize.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.



Masaru Emoto
