Ganges River of Grace

Ganges river of grace
Ganges river of grace
Ganges river of grace
Ganges river of grace

As the sunrise colours the sky
The Ganges flows with ancient grace
All the pilgrims’ whispers float by
In her mirror, we see our truth

Steps leading down with hearts pure
On her banks
We find this love in her waters
Flowers drift by with silent prayers
This faith unites us as we’re all there

Ganges river of grace
You cleanse our souls
Healing our hearts
Making us whole
In your flow
We find the light
Day or night
Through you, we unite

Candles flicker in the dawn
Prayers and chants rise up
Every face is a journey told
In your waters
Our souls are held

Saffron robes
And holy marks
Silence speaks
Ignites our spark
Bells ring out in the air
With your blessings
We declare

Oh river of grace
You cleanse our souls
Healing our hearts
Making us whole
In your flow
We find the light
Day or night
Through you, we unite

Oh Ganges River of grace
You cleanse our souls
Healing our hearts
making us whole
In your flow
We find the light
Day or night
Through you we unite

Oh Ganges river of grace
Oh Ganges river of grace
Oh Ganges river of grace
Oh Ganges river of grace
