Lord knows that we all start broken
Drinking from the well that leaves us dry
How do we survive?
Thank God for a sweet salvation
I was down and out in the dead of night
But He brought the light
If you got a reason to testify
If you've got a heart that's been brought to life
Let's go down to that age-old river
Let's go down to that faithful shore
Singing glory, hallelujah
I'm found
Let's get washed by mercy's water
Let's get lost in amazing grace
Nothing stronger, nothing sweeter
Than that sound
Let's go down
Let's go down
Clean hands, pure heart, new mercy
Ever since my sins got washed away
On that glorious day
If you got a reason to testify
If you've got a heart that's been brought to life
Let's go down to that age-old river
Let's go down to that faithful shore
Singing glory, hallelujah
I'm found
Let's get washed by mercy's water
Let's get lost in amazing grace
Nothing stronger, nothing sweeter
Than that sound
Let's go down
Let's go down
Oh, brother, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh, sister, let's go down
Down to the river to pray
Oh, brother, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh, sister, let's go down
Down to the river to pray, yeah
Let's go down to that age-old river
Let's go down to that faithful shore
Singing glory, hallelujah
I'm found
Let's get washed by mercy's water
Let's get lost in amazing grace
Nothing stronger, nothing sweeter
Than that sound
Let's go down
Let's go down
Let's go down
