​river Lyrics by Leslie Perez

when will we learn to let go?

2022

[Verse 1]
Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from You
Ten thousand miles gone

[Refrain]
Oh, I wanna come near and give
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

[Verse 2]
In my darkness I remember
Mama's words reoccur to me:
"Surrender to the good Lord
And He'll wipe your slate clean"

[Chorus]
Take me to Your river
I wanna go
Take me to your river
I wanna know

[Verse 3]
Dip me in Your smooth water
I, go in
As a man with many crimes, come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan

[Refrain]
Oh, I wanna come nеar and give
Every part of me
But thеre's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

[Chorus]
Take me to Your river
I wanna go
Oh, oh, take me to Your river
I wanna know

[Bridge]
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, oh
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, I wanna know

[Chorus]
Take me to Your river
I wanna go
Oh, take me to Your river
I wanna know
Take me to Your river
I wanna go
