River Of Crystal Lyrics

Roy Acuff River Of Crystal

[guitar]
I dreamed of a River of Crystal that flows
through the garden of Heaven and a brightness that glows
for all the great hosts around the white throne
and a kind loving Savior whose love i had known

I dreamed i saw mother so sweet and so fair
among the great hosts whose those gathered there
her hands seem to beckon to me here below
as her tears in the River Of Crystal did flow
[harmonica]
I know i am wicked but how could she know
and why should her teardrops in Heaven still flow
for one who so thoughtlessly worries her so
that her tears in the River Of Crystal should flow
[guitar]
I woke from my dreaming and started to pray
that the River Of Crystal be taken away
and that God up in Heaven help me to prepare
though the River Of Crystal will never flow there
[guitar]
