[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, oh 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

[Chorus]
Wash over me
Ohh, Wash over me
Wash over me

Wash over me
Ohh, Wash over me
Wash over me

[Verse 3]
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)
Tack me back, take me home to when I was a child, (I was a child)
Where my mother was the only world I knew
[Chorus]
Wash over me
Ohh, wash over me
Wash over me

Wash over me
Ohh, wash over me
Wash over me
