Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been cold
For you, ten thousand miles gone
Ooh, I wanna come near and give you
Every part of me
But this blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

In my darkness I remember
Mama's words: Be good to me
Surrender to the good Lord
And He'll wash your stains clean

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go
Take me to your river
I wanna go

Dip me in your smooth waters
Oh, go in
As a man can be crowned
Come up for air
As my sins roll down the Jordan
Ooh, I wanna come near and give you
Every part of me
But this blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go
Take me to your river
I wanna go

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Yeah

Oh, go
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Ooh, yeah, please let me go
Take me to your river
I wanna go
