Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm ready now, would you please
Take me down to the river? (To the river)
Wash my body, cleanse my soul
Down in the river (In the river)
Wash away my sins, let them flow away (In the river)
Till I'm purer than I was before I came
[Verse 2]
Smooth waters, can you carry me
To my redemption? (My redemption)
Deliver me from the dark
Ooh-ah
Pour my thoughts into here
Let them soak in the river (In the river)
Till they're pure just like the waters on my skin
[Verse 3]
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Mmm (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
Wash over me (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Mmm (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
Wash over me (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
[Verse 4]
Dip me in, dip me down
Dip me deep in the river (In the river)
Fill my cup, fill my glass
Fill my soul (In the river)
Take me back, take me home
To when I was a child (I was a child)
Where my mother was the only world I knew, ooh
[Verse 5]
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Mmm (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
Wash over me (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Mmm (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
Wash over me
Wash over me (Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)
