The River

To the river I am going bringing sins I cannot bear
Come and cleanse me, come forgive me Lord I need to meet you there
In these waters, healing mercy flows with freedom from despair
I am going, to that river Lord I need to meet you there
Precious Jesus, I am ready to surrender every care
Take my hand now, lead me closer Lord I need to meet you there
Come and join us, in the river Come find life beyond compare
He is calling, He is waiting Jesus longs to meet you there
He is calling, He is waiting Jesus longs to meet you there
Precious Jesus, I am ready to surrender every care
Take my hand now, lead me closer Lord I need to meet you there
Take my hand now, lead me closer Lord I need to meet you there
