Before The River Came

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
