BEFORE THE RIVER CAME
|
|
I've been lookin' at the past
|
I've wasted too much time
|
On things that won't last
|
I've built a kingdom out of rubble and sand
|
But I don't, I don't want to hold on to it all
|
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away
|
I'm singin'
|
Come sweet water
|
Cleanse my soul
|
Shower me
|
And make me whole
|
Consume me with healing flood
|
Leave no traces of the man that I was
|
Before the river came
|
|
There's no freedom in the chains
|
They hold you captive to the guilt of your stains
|
One drop of water brings
|
an ocean of change
|
And I long, I long to move on from it all
|
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away
|
I'm singin'
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Baptize and bury me
|
Until only You remain (come and rescue me)
|
I don't want to be the man that I was
|
Long before the river came
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
