Original lyrics
Translation
Floden
The Flood
There's a river running, a rushing flood through my life
I'm filled with softness and peace when I wade through your reeds
And every time I dare to go for a swim in you I become whole and pure
And I feel a soothing light shine through marrow and bone
I wonder, why don't I go for it more?
Why, why when I feel the good you do to me?
It almost seems like I'm trying to avoid it
And I feel scared by the mercy and joy you bestow me
Wondrous, Wondrous...
There is a well, a source of life in my own place
Love is its name and the gaze becomes clear from the smallest glass
And every time I dare to drink of it I become whole and pure
And I feel a relieving light shine through marrow and bone
I wonder, why don't I go for it more?
Why, why when I feel the good you do to me?
It almost seems like I'm trying to avoid it
And I feel scared by the mercy and joy you bestow me
Wondrous, Wondrous...
I want to defy the resistance I have towards receiving what's good
It's not wise to walk around looking for what I've already been given
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I wonder, why don't I go for it more?
Why, why when I feel the good you do to me?
It almost seems like I'm trying to avoid it
And I feel scared by the mercy and joy you bestow me
Wondrous, Wondrous...
