Down to the River Lyrics

come down to the river
walk down to the shore
living water to quench
your thirsty soul
come drink from the water
thirst no more
Jesus said lay your burden down
if you're tired of carrying it around
sing a new song your back unbowed
sing a new song sing it out loud
come on and hear God's people sing redemption songs
and lift your voice and sing along
sing a new song stand up proud
sing a new song sing it out loud
for the weighed down struggling and burdened
the tired out and hurting it's time to put it down
when life feels like it's getting too tough
like you carry too much come drop it on the sacred ground

Jesus says that his burden's light
and He's gonna make everything alright,
sing a new song your back unbowed
sing a new song sing it out loud
come on and hear God's people sing a song of praise
come sit at His feet and learn his ways
sing a new song stand up proud
sing a new song sing it out loud
for the empty withered up and hollow
to the outcast He calls you to follow
to the lost and confused, the user and the used
the rejects and the losers God is calling out to you
