Where mercy flGows
Take the stEmains

[Verse 1]

I know a place

Where we can go

To lay the troubles

Down eatin’ your soul

I know a place

Where mercy flows

Take the stains

Make you whiter than snow

[Pre-Chorus]

Like a tide

It is rising up deep inside

C Dm

A current that moves

And makes it come alive

Living water

That brings the dead to life

C Dm

Oh, Oh

[Chorus]

We're going down to the river

Down to the river

C Dm

Down to the river to pray

Let's get washed by the water

Washed by the water

C Dm

And rise up in amazing grace

Am G

Let's go down, down, down

To the river

C Dm

You will leave changed

Am G

Let's go down, down, down

To the river

C Dm

Never the same

[Verse 2]

I've seen it move

In my own life

Took me from dusty roads

Into paradise

All of my dirt

All of my shame

Drowned in the streams

That've made me born again

[Pre-Chorus]

Like a tide

It is rising up deep inside

C Dm

A current that moves

And makes it come alive

Living water

That brings the dead to life

C Dm

Oh, Oh

[Chorus]

We're going down to the river

Down to the river

C Dm

Down to the river to pray

Let's get washed by the water

Washed by the water

And rise up in amazing grace

Let's go down, down, down

To the river

You will leave changed

Down to the river

Down to the river to pray

Let's get washed by the water

Washed by the water

And rise up in amazing grace

Let's go down, down, down

To the river

You will leave changed

Let's go down, down, down

To the river
