Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from you
Ten thousand miles gone
[Verse 2]
Oh, I wanna come near and give you
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean
[Verse 3]
In my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And He'll wipe your slate clean"
[Verse 4]
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go, take me to your river
I wanna know
[Verse 5]
Dip me in your smooth water
As I go in
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan
[Verse 6]
Oh, I wanna come near and give you
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean
[Verse 7]
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go, take me to your river
I wanna know
[Verse 8]
(I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go)
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
[Verse 9]
Ooh, oh, take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna know
