Do you feel like an orphan searching for a home?

He’s calling out your name

Everyone is welcome here to drive into the waves

So leave the questions far behind you
A             E
leave your past back on the shore

And run with wild abandon, wait no more!

Every burden, every scar let the waters wash away

You belong to Christ today
REFRAIN
          E
As I went down to the river to pray
         B                 E
studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown; good
B  A         E
Lord show me the way
B      E                     A           E
O sister let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
B      E            E         A      E
O sister let’s go down, down to the river to pray
