sean michel - the river song كلمات الأغنية

[chorus]
we goin’ down to the river
we goin’ down to the river now
we goin’ down, lord
all our sins be washed away

[verse 1]
i remember when i was just a young boy
walkin with my grandma down the long and dusty road to the church house
and i’d look up to her and say, “grandma what we gonna see today?”
she’d look down and say, “we gonna see miracles baby”
’cause you know

[chorus]
we goin’ down to the river
we goin’ down to the river now
we goin’ down, lord
all our sins be washed away
good lord, now
we goin’ down to the river
we goin’ down to the river now
we goin’ down, lord
all our sins be washed away

[verse 2]
don’t you know that church was real close to thе water
and we was all lined up on thе banks
while that ol’ preacher stood about waist high up in the water
with all my brothers and sisters standin’ there in them white robes
lookin’ like they’d been reborn
that preacher had one hand up on their shoulder
and the other raised high to the heavens
and he’d ask ’em all the same question
he’d say, “my brother, my sister, who is your lord and savior today?”
and they’d all answer the same way
“the lord jesus!”
“alright then, my brother and sister, listen, i’m gonna baptize you today
in the name of the father, the name of the son, and the holy ghost.”
and he’d take that old withered hand, softly place it over their mouth
as he gently take ’em on down under the water, like he was takin ’em on
down to the grave
takin’ ’em on down
takin’ ’em on down
takin’ ’em on down to the grave

[verse 3]
and don’t you know everytime that water start to swell and tremble
so would them little hairs on the back of my neck start standin’ up
you see, everybody there that day was a drug addict, they was liars, adulterers, and cheats
they was just like me, just like me
but i coulda swore, everytime that ol’ preacher would start to pull ’em up out of the water
i could see a light shining down from heaven above on each one of their faces
like all that old mess had been washed away
like they was new creatures
and i remember what my grandma said, she said, “youngin’, we gonna see miracles today”
and this song kept runnin’ through my head like this

[chorus]
we goin’ down to the river
we goin’ down to the river now
we goin’ down, lord
all our sins be washed away
good lord, now
we goin’ down to the river
we goin’ down, down, down yeah
we goin’ down, lord
[guitar solo]
hey!

[verse 3]
(we goin’ down to the river)
so anytime this old world
(we goin’ down to the river)
tries to drag you down and tell you
(we goin’ down, lord)
“it’d be a better place without you here”
(all our sins be washed away)
i want you to hold on to those miracles in your life
(we goin’ down to the river)
those times when it felt like god was staring at you face to face
(we goin’ down to the river)
and i want you to sing this song ’til you
(we goin’ down, lord)
’til you go on down to the grave
(all our sins be washed away)
just remember

[chorus]
we goin’ down to the river
we goin’ down to the river now
we goin’ down, lord
all our sins be washed away
sins be washed away
sins be washed away
sins be washed away
[outro]
(we goin’ down to the river)
(we goin’ down to the river)
