Eric Gwin - The River Lyrics




I was living my life completely in line
With the ways of the world
What I thought was a good time
Was tearing me apart, both my heart and soul
And I knew something was missing
I had searched high and low
But I couldn't find the answers
To the questions in my mind
I knew I needed someone
To bring me through this time
My soul, it needed cleansing
But I didn't know where to turn
Right then the Lord reached out to me
And then I said...

Take me to the river
Wash away my sins and cleanse my soul
Take me to the river
Lord, make me whole

I started living my life completely in line
With the ways of the Lord
I was learning that I could be
An influence to those all around
And they saw something was missing
They came to me for help
So I showed them where to turn
Right then the Lord reached out to them
And then they said...

Take me to the river
Wash away my sins and cleanse my soul
Take me to the river
Lord, make me whole

Pull me under. Rescue me and bury me

Lord, wash away my foolish pride
And all the sin I try to hide
Destroy deceit and all the lies
The things that tear me up inside
Rescue me and bury me
In the grave that sets me free
The blood that brings eternity
Will take my life away from me
Take the life that I once knew
Replace it with a life that's new
Show me what I am to do
Fill me up with you
With your presence, cover me
I want others to see
Just how great you can be

Take me to the river
Wash away my sins and cleanse my soul
Take me to the river
Lord, make me whole

Take me to the river
Wash away my sins and cleanse my soul
Take me to the river
Lord, make me whole

Pull me under. Rescue me and bury me
