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 it come alive Living water that brings the dead to life, 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 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 it come alive Living water that brings the dead to life, 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 Rise up! We're gonna rise up in amazing grace Just like a rising tide, a current deep inside The water will bring us back to life We're going down to the river, down to the river... 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 Just like the tide, we're gonna rise Rise up in amazing grace! (Jordan Feliz)
