lyrics

I been down to the river
And I've seen the new believer's getting baptized.
And I've been stumbling through the darkness
Liquored up and heartless and lost.

I been down in the subway
And I've seen that old man with a burden.
He may shift that heavy suitcase
from one hand to the next but he'll never put it down.

And I used to think of myself as someone
Who could pick myself up by my own bootstraps.
But if you ignore the truth for long enough
You really only give it cause to bite back.

God told Paul,
in your weakness I Am strong.
I will no take this sin away
Because my grace, it is enough.

And I am just a little child
So worn out and wobbly kneed,
But I know this world is not the only thing
The good Lord's got for me;

I been down to the river.
