Mem’ry Bank
By: Jacob McGowen
I love the all-familiar
I rest in security
I find my greatest comfort
In past joys and prosperity
But I know
There must be more than
Simply dwelling on what has been
Never dreaming of what could happen
If I give my all to Him
But still I find myself
In the place of staying…
Washed up on Mem’ry bank
Ain’t it funny how my little world
Never seems to change
Yet the river rolls on and I just
Want to stay washed up on
Mem’ry bank
As I’m wading in the water
I am feeling so alone
For memories can’t keep me comp’ny
And old joys can’t make a home
Looking down, the mighty river
I can feel a gentle breeze
As the leaves blow around me
I believe it’s time to leave
But am I ready to face storms
Move on, abandon
Leave ole Mem’ry bank
It’s time for me to make the choice
To make a change
To ride the river and know that one day
My tears will fade away
