I've been lookin' at the past

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 on to it all

I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away

CHORUS

I'm singin'

Come sweet water

Cleanse my soul

Shower me

And make me whole

Consume me with healing flood

Leave no traces of the man that I was

Before the river came

There's no freedom in the chains

They 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

I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away

I'm singin'

REPEAT CHORUS

Baptize and bury me

Until only You remain (come and rescue me)

I don't want to be the man that I was

Long before the river came

REPEAT CHORUS
