Left It In The River

I had burdens on my shoulders all my life
I tried and tried to leave them all behind
But freedom's one thing I could never find

I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there, showing me something better

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains since I gave them to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt, where is my shame?

I left it in the river
I left it in the river

Now there's nothing that can take this joy I've found
He raised me up and I ain't coming down
He washed me clean and now there ain't no doubt
He turned it all around

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains since I gave them to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt, where is my shame?

I left it in the river
I left it in the river

I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there, showing me something better
I left my wrongs at the bottom of a river
I said so long, said goodbye forever

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains since I gave them to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt, where is my shame?

I left it in the river
I left it in the river
I left it in the river
I left it in the river
I left it in the river
