The river

Take me down to the river
Wash the dirt from my hands
I've been traveling so long
In this foreign land

Please father forgive me
For I lost my way
Sin runs through my body
There is poison in my veins

Take me down to the river
I'm a broken man
Push me down to the bottom
Wash me from within
Pull me up from the water
So I can breathe again
Take me down to the river, lord
Where it all began

Should’ve known from the start, Lord
Couldn't do it alone
I try and try so hard, yeah
To make this place my home
So come redemption
Please set me free
Oh Holy Water now
Come cover me

Take me down to the river
I'm a broken man
Push me down to the bottom
Wash me from within
Pull me up from the water
So I can breathe again
Take me down to the river, lord
Where it all began

Take me down to the river
I'm a broken man
Push me down to the bottom
Wash me from within
Pull me up from the water
So I can breathe again
Take me down to the river, lord
Where it all began
Where it all began
