River Running Through My Soul

Lyrics

[Verse 1] First time I saw her, time stood still Like the good Lord wrote it on my heart's own will She walked right in and never walked away Stood beside me from that very first day Through the storms and scars, she held me tight My angel girl with the kindest light [Chorus] Oh Rachel, you're the river running through my soul The steady hand that keeps me whole Every breath, every beat, every prayer I send You're my forever, my best friend Oh Rachel, oh Rachel of mine [Verse 2] We said our vows down by the riverside Cottonwoods singing, sky open wide You patched me up when the world knocked me down Loved me steady when no one was around Folks see it plain in the way that we move Two hearts grown into one sweet groove [Chorus] Oh Rachel, you're the river running through my soul The steady hand that keeps me whole Every breath, every beat, every prayer I send You're my forever, my best friend Oh Rachel, oh Rachel of mine [Bridge] You put up with my crooked, stubborn ways And love me harder every single day A heart so beautiful it shines like dawn That's the one I'm leaning on [Verse 3] Cast a line with me, walk the woods at first light Tracking through the timber, you're my favorite sight Whatever the weather, whatever the road You're the half of me that carries the load I'd marry you again on that same green shore And love you a little bit deeper, a little bit more [Chorus] Oh Rachel, you're the river running through my soul The steady hand that keeps me whole Every breath, every beat, every prayer I send You're my forever, my best friend [Outro] Just because, girl, just because it's true There ain't a day I don't thank God for you
