Take Me Down to the River

Take me down to the river
To that flowing stream
Where the currents of kindness
Pull our feet to peace
Plant me down where the waters
Lap my soul
Till my aching heart
Can beat once more

Take me down to the river
To that sacred way
Carved out by patience
Through this old valley
Sink me down 'neath the waters
Till I can breathe
While the wake of love
Pours over me

Take me down to the river
To that old refrain
Where the waves of wisdom
Hum their holy strains
Lift me into the current
Set me free
To join the chorus
of Love's good theme
