Lyrics

[Intro]

(Oh)

(Oh)

[Verse 1]

Are you tired of shame and secrets?

Wishing you could let them go

Do you feel like an orphan searching

For a home?

Well, there's a love that fills what's empty

There's a place you can be changed

There's a God who knows you

He's calling out your name

[Chorus]

Come on down to the river

Come be washed in the blood

And your sin will be forgiven

By the power of His love

Come be changed by the mercy

That makes all things new

Where the lost get found

Come on down, down, down

[PostChorus]

To the river (Oh)

To the river (Oh)

[Verse 2]

It flows like the Mississippi

From the giver of endless grace

And everyone is welcome here

To dive into the waves

So leave the questions far behind you

Leave your past back on the shore

And run with wild abandon

Wait no more

[Chorus]

Come on down to the river

Come be washed in the blood

And your sin will be forgiven

By the power of His love

Come be changed by the mercy

That makes all things new

Where the lost get found

Come on down, down, down

[PostChorus]

To the river (Oh)

To the river (Oh)

[Bridge]

Every burden, every scar (Every scar)

Let the waters wash away (Wash away)

No matter who you were before (No matter who you were)

You belong to Christ today

Yeah, you belong to Christ today

[Verse 3]

As I went down to the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the robe and crown

Good Lord, show me the way

Oh, sister, let's go down

Let's go down, come on down

Oh, sister, let's go down

Down to the river to pray

[Chorus]

Come on down to the river

Come be washed in the blood

And your sin will be forgiven

By the power of His love

Come be changed by the mercy

That makes all things new

Where the lost get found

Come on down, down, down

[PostChorus]

To the river (Oh)

To the river (Oh)

[Outro]

Come on down (Come on down)

Oh (Yeah)

To the river (To the river)

Oh
