The River

There’s a river of life
It runs through all time,
A river of love, so wide and deep
And it won’t let me stay
Where I am today.
It’s calling me to leave, it’s calling me.

I’m going down to the river.
I’m going down to the river.
Gonna let it take all of me,
That’s where I need to be,
I’m going down, down, down – to the river.

There’s a rhythm to the flow
And it won’t let me go
I’m floating on faith and sweet peace.
It’s a river of hope,
Like nothing I know.
It’s washing over me, over me.

I’m going down to the river.
I’m going down to the river.
Gonna let it take all of me,
That’s where I need to be,
I’m going down, down, down – to the river.

Gonna jump in the water, dive in the deep,
Gonna let the river carry –
Gonna jump in the water, dive in the deep,
Gonna let the river carry me.

I’m going down to the river.
I’m going down to the river.
Gonna let it take all of me,
That’s where I need to be,
I’m going down, down, down –

I’m going down to the river.
I’m going down to the river.
Gonna let it take all of me,
That’s where I need to be,
I’m going down, down, down – to the river.
