Third Day's song uses the imagery of baptism to describe a spiritual transformation. The lyrics speak of leaving behind an old life and being submerged in the river of life, which flows from Jesus' sacrifice. The act of going under the water symbolizes dying to self and rising to new faith, with the assurance that victory washes away sins. The song conveys a sense of surrender and commitment, even amid unanswered questions, emphasizing trust in God's redemptive work.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Now listen there's something much better
Than what I had and what I had been told
And now one day I heard a message spoken
Forever in my heart the words I hold
The Healer said there is only one river
The river of life, filled with faith and love
It's flowing from the sacrifice of Jesus
And brings us all into the Kingdom of God
So I'm going down (So I'm going down), to drown myself today, yeah
Nothin' left to live for, nothin' in my way
Hold me underwater, take me even farther
Drown me down by the river today
Will you make me a believer? Take me by my hand
Hold me as I'm falling in, victory will wash my sins away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So here I am at the edge of the water
That seperates me from my death and life
And still I come here with unanswered questions
But that's not gonna to make me change my mind
So I'm going down (So I'm going down), to drown myself today, yeah
Nothin' left to live for, nothin' in my way
Hold me underwater, take me even farther
Drown me down by the river today
Will you make me a believer? Take me by my hand
Hold me as I'm falling in, victory will wash my sins away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, so I'm going down, to drown myself today, yeah
Nothin' left to live for, nothin' in my way
Hold me underwater, take me even farther
Drown me down by the river today
Will you make me a believer? Take me by my hand
Hold me as I'm falling in, victory will wash my sins away
Hold me underwater, take me even farther
Drown me down by the river today
Will you make me a believer? Take me by my hand
Hold me as I'm falling in, victory will wash my sins
Victory will wash my sins away
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
