CVPC YOUTH DANCERS

As part of Sunday's Children Message, some of the youth danced to "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" as an illustration of God's love for all. 

         When you're weary, feeling small
         When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all (all)
         I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
         And friends just can't be found
         Like a bridge over troubled water
         I will lay me down
         Like a bridge over troubled water
         I will lay me down

                                   When you're down and out
                                   When you're on the street
                                   When evening falls so hard
                                   I will comfort you (ooo)
                                   I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
                                   And pain is all around
                                   Like a bridge over troubled water
                                    I will lay me down
                                    Like a bridge over troubled water
                                    I will lay me down

                     Sail on silver girl
                     Sail on by
                     Your time has come to shine
                     All your dreams are on their way                                                       
                     See how they shine
                     Oh, if you need a friend
                     I'm sailing right behind
                     Like a bridge over troubled water
                     I will ease your mind
                     Like a bridge over troubled water
                     I will ease your mind
