Otter Friends

[Verse] Down by the river Where the water's cool The otters gather in a holy school They clasp their paws and bow their heads in prayer For all the blessings in the fresh spring air [Verse 2] Under the willow Where the shadows play Otter friends of the Otter Party lay They praise the Maker for the fish they munch For Otter Month And for the faithful bunch [Chorus] Oh Otter Friends Let's give our thanks To the rolling rivers and the riverbanks We lift our hearts to You on high For Otter Month under the sky [Verse 3] On stones we sit In a circle round The whisper of the wind the only sound With joyous hearts We sing our song Thanking Jesus all day long [Bridge] In troubled tides and rapids rough We find our strength; Your love's enough Protect us Lord Both day and night In Otter Month And in Your light [Verse 4] Beneath the moon Where the waters gleam Otter friends share their hopeful dream Of peace and love Forever more By the river's edge On Your golden shore
