I've been looking at the past hmmm
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 onto 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 a healing flood
leave no traces of the man that I was
before the river came
There's no freedom in the chains, hmmm
they'll 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
Baptize and then bury me until only You remain (come and rescue)
I don't wanna be the man that I was, long before the river came.
I'm singin' come sweet water, cleanse my soul
shower me and make me whole
consume me with a healing flood
leave no traces of the man that I was
before the river came.
