Well, I went down to the river,
Just to find some-somewhere to pray.
Well I laid down my heavy burdens,
Waters parted and I crossed that day.
Then I decided to follow Him,
Until the day my last breath goes.
He said my son don't you worry,
the battles was won when My blood flowed.
Oh Lord speak to me today,
I will heed what you say.
I reminded when I see your face,
I remember how you took my place
and I go down to the river, ( mmmmm down to the river)
I go on down to the river, ( mmmmm down to the river)
Oh go on down to the the river. ( mmmmm down to the river)
I go down to the river, (mmmmm down to the river)
I will hear what the Lord has to say
(I will hear what the Lord has to say) x5
I go down to the river
I will hear what the Lord has to say
