Take Me To Your River
Written July 7, 2015
I've been walking these same old roads for ages
Passed by these same old streams
My heart's been pulled along for too damn long it seems
That every ounce of my being
Cries out singing
Take me to your river
This place of old
Oh take me to your river
Drown my soul
Walking along
Humming a love song
Nothing but a heart in my chest
Nothing but confidence upon my breast
This river is mine for the taking
Dip me in and make me blessed
But I just need to know
Is that water pure?
Would you pour yourself a glass
Or have I been forsaken
An enemy at last?
Just tell me baby
Would you dip me in your cool, ever-flowing river
As my sins are washed away forever
Or at least for tonight
Take me to your river
This place of old
Oh take me to your river
Drown my soul
