Lyrics: Buddy & Julie Miller. Orphans And Angels. Angels Dance.

Come down to the river with me,
Come, lay down your heart at the shore,
We'll jump into the waters of life; they will wash us clean evermore.

When a child that's been world-weary reaches out his hands, God will go the distance to meet him, with a smile so wide it'll make the angels dance.

Little ones that wander astray, to your father you are so dear,
Love and mercy beckon to you,
How God longs to hold you so near.

When a child that's been world-weary reaches out his hands, God will go the distance to meet him, with a smile so wide it'll make the angels dance.

Parties that are given by men: caviar, confetti and lace, can't compare with God's great plan,
Love spills over, full of grace.

When a child that's been world-weary reaches out his hands, God will go the distance to meet him, with a smile so wide it'll make the angels dance
