Mighty River
I was watching, I was waiting
For a sign
I was waiting
For voices from the sky
In the desert I was wandering
Oh hard and stony ground
When I came upon a rive
That was rolling homeward bound
River, might river
Mighty river, flowing down
So I waded in that river
And lay me down
In the cool
Water washing over me
Wash the blood off of my hands
Help me blinded hear to see
Ask the holy ghosts to come and
Drive the demons out of me
River, might river
Rolling down
Rolling home
To where the water meets the sky
Burdened with my sins
Burdened with my sorrows
Take the darkness of my past
Give me hope for new tomorrow
River, might river
Rolling down
Rolling home
To where the water meets the sky
Let the scales fall from my eyes
Heal the wounds I made in anger
Take my price and jealousy
Wash me clean in your mercy
River, might river/might river, rolling down
For a sign
I was waiting
For voices from the sky
In the desert I was wandering
Oh hard and stony ground
When I came upon a rive
That was rolling homeward bound
River, might river
Mighty river, flowing down
So I waded in that river
And lay me down
In the cool
Water washing over me
Wash the blood off of my hands
Help me blinded hear to see
Ask the holy ghosts to come and
Drive the demons out of me
River, might river
Rolling down
Rolling home
To where the water meets the sky
Burdened with my sins
Burdened with my sorrows
Take the darkness of my past
Give me hope for new tomorrow
River, might river
Rolling down
Rolling home
To where the water meets the sky
Let the scales fall from my eyes
Heal the wounds I made in anger
Take my price and jealousy
Wash me clean in your mercy
River, might river/might river, rolling down
