[Verse 1]
Been travellin' these wide roads
So long
My heart's been far from you
Ten thousand miles gone

[Refrain]
Oh, I wanna come to and give you
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

[Verse 2]
In my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And wipe your slate clean"

[Chorus]
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, take me to your river
I wanna go

[Verse 3]
Dip me in your smooth water
Or go in
From a man with many crimes, come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan
[Refrain]
Oh, I wanna come to and give you
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

[Chorus]
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, take me to your river
I wanna go

[Bridge]
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, hoo

[Chorus]
Go, take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, just please, let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna go

[Outro]
Go, take me to your river
I wanna go
