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, 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'      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      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      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
