4him - Before The River Came lyrics

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