River

Been trav'ling these wide roads for so long.

My heart's been (C)far from You,

ten thousand miles gone.

(G)Oh, I wanna come near and give You every part of me.

(C)But there's blood on my hands

and my lips aren't clean.

(G)In my darkness, I remember.

Mama's words reoccur to me.

(C)"Surrender to the good Lord

and He'll wipe your slate clean."

(Am)Take me to Your river;

I wanna (G)go.

Oh, go (Am)on,

take me to Your river;

I wanna (G)know.

(G)Tip me in Your smooth waters;

I go in as a (C)man with many crimes.

Come up for air as my sins flow down the (G)Jordan.

Oh, I wanna come near and give You every part of me.

(C)But there's blood on my hands

and my lips aren't clean.

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go.

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know.

Wanna (G)go, wanna go, wanna go.

Wanna (C)know, wanna know, wanna know.

Wanna (G)go, wanna go, wanna go.

Wanna (C)know, wanna know, wanna know.

Wanna Oh, oh.

(Am)Take me to Your river;

I wanna (G)go.

Lord, please let me (Am)know.

Take me to Your river;

I wanna (G)know.
