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
