The River Song
We goin' down to the river, we goin' down to the river, we goin' down to the river
All our sins be washed away.
I remember when I was just a young boy
Walkin with my grandma down the long and dusty road to the church house
And I'd look up to her and say, 'grandma what we gonna see today?'
She'd look down and say, 'we gonna see miracles baby.'
Cuz you know
Don't you know that church was real close to the water...
And we was all lined up on the banks
While that ol preacher stood about waist high up in the water
With all my brothers and sisters standin' there in them white robes
Lookin' like they'd been reborn
That preacher had one hand up on their shoulder
And the other raised high to the heavens
And he'd ask em all the same question
He'd say, 'my brother/my sister, who is your Lord and Savior today?'
And they'd all answer the same way,
'the Lord Jesus.'
'Alright then, my brother/my sister, I'm gonna baptize you today.
In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, and the Holy Ghost.'
And he'd take that old withered hand, softly place it over their mouth,
As he gently take em on down under the water, like he was takin em on

Down to the grave.
Takin' em on down, takin' em on down, takin' em down to the grave
And don't you know everytime that water start to swell and tremble
So would them little hairs on the back of my neck start standin' up
You see, everybody there that day was a drug addict, liars, adulterers, and cheats
They was just like me, just like me,
But I coulda swore, everytime that ol preacher would start to pull em up out
Of that water, I coulda swore I saw a light shining down from heaven on each one of
Their faces, like all that old mess had been washed away, like they was new creatures
And I remember what my grandma said, she said, 'youngin', we gonna see miracles today.'
And this song kept runnin' through my head like this, …
So anytime this old world tries to drag you down
And tell you, ' it'd be a better place without you here.'
I want you to hold on to those miracles in your life
Those times when it felt like God was staring at you face to face.
And I want you to sing this song til you go on down to the grave
Just remember…
