Song Meaning

Corey Voss, Charity Gayle, and Crystal Yates build the entire song around one physical image: "there is a river of gladness that pours from Emmanuel's veins, this sinner was plunged beneath the flood and got saved." The baptism language isn't incidental — going under the water and coming back up becomes the whole shape of the testimony.

Zechariah 13:1 promises exactly this kind of fountain: "a fountain opened... for sin and for uncleanness." The song takes that ancient image and puts it in first person, tying it directly to Romans 6:4's picture of being "buried therefore with him by baptism into death," then raised to walk in a new life — which is why the second verse moves straight from the water to "since then I walk in forgiveness, all of my guilt was erased."

The chorus keeps circling back to one word — undone — repeated over "the mercy of Jesus" and "the goodness of the Lord" rather than moving on to new ideas. That repetition is the point: the song isn't building an argument, it's returning again and again to the same moment at the river, because that's the moment the singer keeps saying changed everything.

(verse 1)    

There is a river of gladness

That pours from Emmanuel’s veins

This sinner was plunged

beneath the flood

and got saved

 

(verse 2)

Since then I walk in forgiveness

All of my guilt was erased

the chains of the past

are broken at last

I got saved

I got saved

 

(chorus)

I’m undone by the mercy of Jesus

I’m undone by the goodness of the Lord

I’m restored and made right

He got a hold of my life

I’ve got Jesus

How could I want more

 

(verse 3)

I’ve received nothing but goodness

I’ve tested and tasted Your grace

I was so lost

till I fell at the cross

and got saved

I got saved

 

(bridge)

The love of God

gave me His pardon

The love of God

won’t let me stay the same

The love of God

pulls me up higher

His will is stronger that’s

why I got saved


Picked me up

Turned me round

Placed my feet on the solid rock


I’m undone by the mercy of Jesus

I’m undone by the goodness of the Lord

I’m restored and made right

He got a hold of my life

I’ve got Jesus

How could I want more
