4Him - Before The River Came Lyrics
I've been lookin' at the pastI've wasted too much timeOn things that won't lastI've built a kingdom out of rubble and sandBut I don't, I don't want to hold on to it allI'm ready for the river to run and wash it awayCHORUSI'm singin'Come sweet waterCleanse my soulShower meAnd make me wholeConsume me with healing floodLeave no traces of the man that I wasBefore the river cameThere's no freedom in the chainsThey hold you captive to the guilt of your stainsOne drop of water bringsan ocean of changeAnd I long, I long to move on from it allI'm ready for the river to run and wash it awayI'm singin'REPEAT CHORUSBaptize and bury meUntil only You remain (come and rescue me)I don't want to be the man that I wasLong before the river cameREPEAT CHORUS
