Moon River
101 Strings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,




Moon River and me

IAM HE

Isaiah 6:7


Song of Songs 4:9

You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.


10How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
11Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.


Tobit 7:10

However, my boy, I must be frank with you:



Tobit 8:16

Isaiah 49:2

He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.

5And now the Lord says—
he who formed me in the womb to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel to himself,
for I am a honored in the eyes of the Lord
and my God has been my strength—
6he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
7This is what the Lord says—
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel—
to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation,
to the servant of rulers:
“Kings will see you and stand up,
princes will see and bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”


1 Corinthians 12:21


Exodus 4

8Then the Lord said, “If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second. 9But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.”

10Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”

11The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”

13But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”

14Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you. 15You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him. 17But take this staff in your hand so you can perform the signs with it.”


Ecclesiastes 6:11

Sow your seed

in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.


Isaiah 48:15
I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him. I will bring him, and he will succeed in his mission.


Isaiah 37:31-32 New International Version (NIV)

31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root below and bear fruit above.
32 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,
and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.


Galatians 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.


John 5:21

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.


John 4

25The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

26Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”


John 11

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”



Proverbs 31

SARAH watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Pen Silvânio


Jeremiah 8:8

8“ ‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?
9The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and trapped.
Since they have rejected the word

JESUS’S ETERNAL SON

of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom do they have?

ECCLESIASTES 11:6

Call princess of Tyre Muhammad is the king of Tyre he is a mortal wounded man.

That is why is said Pharaoh will groan like a mortally wounded man.

Egypt can not help you nor can they do anything Isaiah 19:15



Mercy


Surah Al-Kahf – Verse 98
‎قَالَ هَذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِن رَّبّـِي فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ رَبّـِي جَعَلَهُ دَكَّآءَ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبّـِي حَقّاً

98. “He said: ‘This is mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass, He will make it level (with the ground), and the promise of my Lord is ever true’.”



Hebrews 2

14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17For this reason he had to be made like them, k fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.






Song of Songs 1:2

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine.


Wonders kiss 😘 fast



Isaiah 6:7


Tobit 7:10
o my boy but I have to be FARNK with you


Tobit 8:16 MERCY



Acts 2

19I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ c

Mercy Upon Our Earth

I just found this beautiful site, and I thank you so very much. Back in "66 & "67, I loved this music, and it used to play at The Holiday Inn, where I was a chambermaid for 2 summers. It sure made the scrubbing tubs and toilets easier to handle. LOL. I had not heard any of this music for quite awhile, and even my dog and parakeets love it.
I know the eu and un are working real hard to take down humanity, and all that is beautiful. But, know that many of us are working with God (the Blessed Trinity), and angels to restore all the lost beauty around us. And God will win, He always does. My love and blessing to all of you, and to every being of every species in this world.

Ellen Scarborough

I love and agree with the beautiful sentiments you've written here. May God bless you and his angels surround you. Hopefully music and humanity will be beautiful again soon. As you said, there are many of us who still believe. Keep the faith.✝️🙏😇

When I was a young kid living at home when my Mom & Dad were alive, I think we had every single 101 Strings vinyl album they ever recorded. Beautiful and timeless music that never goes put of fashion. Great easy listening for today, tomorrow and always! 💕🎶
