[Intro]

D G D G

[Verse 1]

Been traveling these wide roads for so long

My heart's been far from you

Ten thousand miles gone

Oh, I wanna come near and give ya

Every part of me

But there is blood on my hands

And my lips aren't clean

[Verse 3]

In my darkness I remember

Mama's words reoccur to me

"Surrender to the good Lord

And He'll wipe your slate clean"

[Chorus]

Em G

Take me to your river

I wanna go

Go on, yeah

Em G

Take me to your river

I wanna know

[Verse 3]

Tip me in your smooth waters

I go in

As a man with many crimes

Come up for air

As my sins flow down the Jordan

Oh, I wanna come near and give ya

Every part of me

But there is blood on my hands

And my lips aren't clean

[Chorus]

Em G

Take me to your river

I wanna go

I wanna go=, yeah

Em G

Take me to your river

I wanna know

[Bridge]

I wanna go

I wanna know

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, yeah

Baby I wanna know

Wanna know

I wanna

[Chorus]

Em G

Take me to your river

I wanna go

I wanna

I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go

Take me to your river

I wanna know
