I know a place where we can go To lay the troubles down eating your soul I know a place where mercy flows Take the stains make you whiter than snow Like a tide, it is rising up deep inside a current that moves and makes you come alive Living water that brings the dead to life, oh-oh-oh-oh We're going down to the river Down to the river, down to the river to pray Let's get washed by the water Washed by the water and rise up in amazing grace Let's go down, down, down to the river (You will leave changed) Let's go down, down, down to the river (Never the same) I've seen it move in my own life Took me from dusty roads into paradise All of my dirt, all of my shame Drowned in the streams that've made me born again Like a tide, it is rising up deep inside a current that moves and makes you come alive Living water that brings the dead to life, oh-oh-oh-oh We're going down to the river Down to the river, down to the river to pray Let's get washed by the water Washed by the water and rise up in amazing grace Let's go down, down, down to the river (You will leave changed) Let's go down, down, down to the river (Never the same) Let's go down Let's go down Let's go down We're going down to the river Down to the river, down to the river to pray Let's get washed by the water Washed by the water and rise up in amazing grace Let's go down, down, down to the river (You will leave changed) Let's go down, down, down to the river (Never the same) Oh down Oh oh Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go down in amazing grace Let's go down, down, down to the river Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go down in amazing grace
