Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from you
Ten-thousand miles gone
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips aren't clean
In my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And he'll wipe your slate clean"
Take me to your river
I wanna go
ย
Oh, go on
Take me to your river
I wanna know
ย
Tip me in your smooth waters
I go in
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips aren't clean
Take me to your river
I wanna go
ย
Go on
Take me to your river
I wanna know
ย
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
ย
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
ย
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
ย
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
ย
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
ย
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
ย
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna know
