Verse 1
                         
I had burdens on my shoulders all my life
                             
I tried and tried to leave ‘em all behind
                              
But freedom’s one thing I could never find
  
Pre-Chorus
                                    
I said a prayer from the banks of a river
                                  
God met me there showing me something better
Chorus

   My life was changed
                
When I stepped into the water

   Ain’t seen my chains
                
Since I gave ‘em to the Father

   Hallelujah
         
   I’ve been delivered
                              
   Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
                    
I left it in the river, oh
                 
I left it in the river, oh
Verse 2
                                
Now there’s nothing that 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
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge
                                    
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 the river
                               
I said so long, said goodbye forever
REPEAT CHORUS

I left it in the river, oh
                
I left it in the river, oh
             
I left it in the river
