I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER

I went down to the river
I went down to the river
I went down to the river
and the river called my name

I went down to the river
and the river called my name
I don't know why I don't know why
I can't explain

I looked up at the sky
I looked up at the sky
I looked up at the sky
and I read the words they say

I looked up at the sky
and I read the words they say
the lightning burned up high
and writ His name in flame

I listened to the wind
I listened to the wind
I listened to the wind
and I heard a soul in pain

I listened to the wind
and I heard a soul in pain
it said why me why me why me
and then it was gone again

I went down to the river
and the river called my name
I went down to the river
and the river called my name

and then the heavens opened up
wine overflowed the cup
the heavens opened up
and drowned the world in rain

o Lord
I am so small
and the night is so tall
save me
save me
save me
from the Fall
