The River (come On Down) Lyrics - Hillary Scott & The Scott Family

Are you tired of shame in secrets? 

Wishing you can let them go 

Do you feel you're often searching for a home? 

Well there's a love that fills what's empty 

There's a place you can be changed 

There's a God who knows you 

He's calling out your name 

Come on down to the river 

Come be washed in the blood 

And your sins will be forgiven by the power of His love 

Come be changed by the mercy 

That makes all things new 

Where the lost get found 

Come on down, down, down to the river 

To the river 

It flows like the Mississippi 

From the giver of endless grace 

And everyone is welcome here to dive into the waves 

So leave the questions far behind you 

Leave your past back on the shore 

And run with wild abandoned 

Wait no more 

Come on down to the river 

Come be washed in the blood 

And your sins will be forgiven by the power of His love 

Come be changed by the mercy 

That makes all things new 

Where the lost get found 

Come on down, down, down to the river 

To the river 

Every burden, every scar 

Let the waters wash away 

No matter who you were before 

You belong to Christ today 

Yeah, you belong to Christ today 

As I went down to the river to pray 

Studying about that good 'ol way 

And who shall wear the robe and crown 

Good Lord, show me the way 

Oh Sister, let's go down, let's go down, come on down 

Oh Sister, let's go down, down to the river to pray 

Come on down to the river 

Come be washed in the blood 

And your sins will be forgiven by the power of His love 

Come be changed by the mercy 

Makes all things new 

Where the lost get found 

Come on down, down, down to the river 

To the river 

Come on down, come on down, oh oh 

To the river, oh oh
