The River (Come On Down) Lyrics by Hillary Scott & The Scott Family

Love Remains

2016

[Intro]
(Oh)
(Oh)
[Verse 1: Hillary Scott]
Are you tired of shame and secrets?
Wishing you could let them go
Do you feel like an orphan searching
For a home?
Well, there's a love that fills what's empty
There's a place you can be changed
There's a God who knows you
He's calling out your name
[Chorus: Hillary Scott]
Come on down to the river
Come be washed in the blood
And your sin will be forgiven
By the power of His love
Come be changed by the mercy
That makes all things new
Where the lost get found
Come on down, down, down
[Post-Chorus: Hillary Scott]
To the river (Oh)
To the river (Oh)
[Verse 2: Sharon White & Cheryl White]
It flows like the Mississippi
From the giver of endless grace
And everyone is welcome here
To dive into the waves
So leave the questions far behind you
Leave your past back on the shore
And run with wild abandon
Wait no more
[Chorus: All]
Come on down to the river
Come be washed in the blood
And your sin will be forgiven
By the power of His love
Come be changed by the mercy
That makes all things new
Where the lost get found
Come on down, down, down
[Post-Chorus: All]
To the river (Oh)
To the river (Oh)
[Bridge: Hillary Scott]
Every burden, every scar (Every scar)
Let the waters wash away (Wash away)
No matter who you were before (No matter who you were)
You belong to Christ today
Yeah, you belong to Christ today
[Verse 3: Hillary Scott]
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh, sister, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Oh, sister, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
[Chorus: All]
Come on down to the river
Come be washed in the blood
And your sin will be forgiven
By the power of His love
Come be changed by the mercy
That makes all things new
Where the lost get found
Come on down, down, down
[Post-Chorus: All]
To the river (Oh)
To the river (Oh)
[Outro: All]
Come on down (Come on down)
Oh (Yeah)
To the river (To the river)
Oh
