River sing and play along

Been trav'ling these wide roads for so long.

My heart's been far from You,

ten thousand miles gone.

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

But there's blood on my hands

and my lips aren't clean.

In my darkness, I remember.

Mama's words reoccur to me.

"Surrender to the good Lord

and He'll wipe your slate clean."

Take me to Your river;

I wanna go.

Oh, go on,

take me to Your river;

I wanna know.

Tip me in Your smooth waters;

I go in as a man with many crimes.

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

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

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 go, wanna go, wanna go.

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know.

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go.

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know.

Wanna Oh, oh.

Take me to Your river;

I wanna go.

Lord, please let me know.

Take me to Your river;

I wanna know.
