Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders

Was a weight I carried with me everyday

Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers a raging

Picking up stones I found along the way

I staggered and I stumbled down

Pathways of trouble

I was hauling those souvenirs of misery

And with each step taken my back was breaking

'Til I found the One who took it all from me

Down by the riverside

(Down by the riverside)

I laid my burdens down,

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

(I found my freedom now)

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light

Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys

I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear

Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken

Now He's leading me to places

Where there are no tears

Down by the riverside

(Down by the riverside)

I laid my burdens down,

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

(I found my freedom now)

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light

Down by the riverside

I laid my burdens down,

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light

Down by the riverside

(Down by the riverside)

I laid my burdens down,

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

(I found my freedom now)

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light
