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, this 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 have known from the start, Lord
I 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
Yeah
Yeah
