Been trav ’ling these wide roads for so long.

My heart’s been (C)far

from You, ten thou sand

miles gone.

Oh, I wan na come near and give You ev er y part of me.

But there’s blood on my hands

and my lips aren’t clean.

In my dark ness, I re mem ber.

Ma ma’s words re oc cur to me.

“Sur ren der to the good Lord

and He’ll wipe your slate clean.”

Take me to Your riv er;

I

wan na (G)go.

Oh, go (Am)on,

take me to Your riv er;

I

wan na (G)know.

Tip me in Your smooth wa ters; I

go in as a (C)man with man y crimes.

Come up for air

as my sins flow down the (G)Jor dan.

Oh, I wan na come near and give You ev er y part of me.

But there’s blood on my hands

and my lips aren’t clean.

I wan na go, wan na go, wan na go.

I wan na know, wan na know, wan na know.

Wan na (G)go, wan na go, wan na go.

Wan na (C)know, wan na know, wan na know.

Wan na (G)go, wan na go, wan na go.

Wan na (C)know, wan na know, wan na know.

Wan na Oh,

oh.

Take me to Your riv er;

I

wan na (G)go.

Lord,

please let me (Am)know.

Take me to Your riv er;

I

wan na (G)know.
