4Him - Before The River Came lyrics
rate meI've been lookin' at the past<br />
I've wasted too much time<br />
On things that won't last<br />
I've built a kingdom out of rubble and sand<br />
But I don't, I don't want to hold on to it all<br />
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away<br />
CHORUS<br />
I'm singin'<br />
Come sweet water<br />
Cleanse my soul<br />
Shower me<br />
And make me whole<br />
Consume me with healing flood<br />
Leave no traces of the man that I was<br />
Before the river came<br />
There's no freedom in the chains<br />
They hold you captive to the guilt of your stains<br />
One drop of water brings<br />
An ocean of change<br />
And I long, I long to move on from it all<br />
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away<br />
I'm singin'<br />
REPEAT CHORUS<br />
Baptize and bury me<br />
Until only You remain (come and rescue me)<br />
I don't want to be the man that I was<br />
Long before the river came<br />
REPEAT CHORUS
