Oh Lord take me down to the river Oh Lord take me down to the river and make me whole I think of how many time I made a mess of me When it's obvious You always had the recipe For the best of me and now I guess I be On my knees and I'm beggin now for less of me When I see that everything is falling through That's when I know that I need so much more of You More peace, more love, and just more truth Less of me more of Ya now in all I do Got a whole lot of baggage that I'm sortin' through That I'm dragging all around like it's portable It's dragging me down I think it's horrible Feeling lost but I'm found when I call to You Oh Lord take me down to the river and wash my soul Oh Lord take me down to the river and make me whole More of You less, of me I need more of You I need more of You, less of me Give me more of You More of You and really so much less of me I died to myself and said rest in peace That's when I heard You say that You can rest in me And I think about all the things that You're blessed to see Like my wife and my kids and my family The life that I live, I'm so glad I'm free So when the rain falls, You are the canopy That means whether I got it all or a can of peas When I hit the wall You said "look to me" I said every time I fall "I wish You took the lead" But I'm learning slowly who I ought to be Cuz if Your love is the ocean, wash over me Oh Lord take me down to the river and wash my soul Oh Lord take me down to the river and make me whole More of You, less of me I need more of You I need more of You, less of me Give me more of You
