(mmmhm-mmmm... ohhhh…)

I was broken, I was bound

Had my face down in the ground

Storm was rising, lost my way

Till I heard that spirit say:

Come down child, where the waters run deep

(Where the waters run deep)

Lay your burdens, let your soul find sleep

(Let your soul find sleep)

You don’t need no crown of gold

Just a fire in your soul

And the courage to let go…

Down in the river of grace,

I found my name, I found my place

Washed my sins in the midnight rain

Now I rise in the holy flame

Oooh, oooh, oooh oooh

Down in the river of grace

Chains were heavy, heart was torn

Felt like a man who’d never been born

But the light came crawling through

Like a whisper I once knew...

And I cried out, "Am I still worth saving?"

Yes, you are… yes, you are...

Felt His hand in the dark embracing...

Yes, you are… child of stars…

Down in the river of grace

I found my name, I found my place

Left my shame in the cold night rain

Now I burn in the sacred flame

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Down in the river of grace

(Let the river rise...)

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Down in the river of grace

(mmm… down in the river… of grace…)
