[00:30.33]	Sweet river roll over me
[00:32.83]	Let my body find peace
[00:34.02]	and let my mind be free
[00:36.27]	Oh my soul sings to Thee
[00:40.52]
[00:41.85]	Sweet river roll over me
[00:44.54]	Let my body find peace
[00:45.85]	and let my mind be free
[00:47.85]	Oh my soul sings to Thee
[01:16.98]	The wild man he just killed my religion
[01:19.79]	He cut it to the bone like a needed incision
[01:22.57]	The cancerous growth of formulaic precision
[01:25.45]	That blocks the life-blood in rebellious collision
[01:29.33]	Cold constructs robbing faith from decision
[01:32.14]	But where’s your rubric for the man that was risen
[01:35.26]	He is my vision, he is my vision, be Thou my vision
[01:40.89]	When the tables have turned,
[01:42.17]	and I’ve lost money, and temples are burned
[01:43.89]	By His scares we will learn about truth
[01:47.62]	In the depths of our souls
[01:48.98]	that are marred by the tooth of a beast
[01:53.28]	Underneath so many deceased,
[01:55.79]	sold out suckers traded life to be yeast
[01:58.91]	Just to get a piece or a status increase
[02:01.78]	Find grace and have peace
[02:03.34]	when you eat the Lords feast
[02:05.35]	And you eat, of His flesh, and His blood
[02:10.77]	It’s coming quick and strong
[02:12.72]	as the mightiest flood
[02:13.71]	Yet my mind still gets stuck in the mud
[02:17.22]	Bottom feeding on the trash like a catfish,
[02:19.78]	brats wish on all of that which
[02:21.90]	Is established to sit ill in hearts and in our souls,
[02:25.78]	sweet river roll
[02:28.53]	Sweet river roll over me
[02:31.34]	Let my body find peace and let my mind be free
[02:35.65]	Oh my soul sings to Thee
[02:40.34]	Sweet river roll over me
[02:43.03]	Let my body find peace
[02:44.34]	and let my mind be free
[02:46.29]	Oh my soul sings to Thee
[02:51.96]	It’s like the water in the valley,
[02:53.96]	submerged totally
[02:55.22]	Yet all the children rally
[02:56.37]	around the safety of their shallow beliefs
[02:59.59]	Let’s swim against the current out
[03:01.01]	and into the deep
[03:03.52]
[03:03.95]	But first I pray the Lord for my soul to keep
[03:06.78]	That price payed was not cheap
[03:08.23]	as I stand knee deep in His blood
[03:12.58]	We’re knee deep in his blood
[03:16.27]	See, I choose to refuse the regulated rhetoric
[03:20.74]	of someone elses rehearsed ideals
[03:23.11]	In place of a real living commitment, Hell no
[03:27.29]	We put the rock in the water
[03:28.77]	and it made cement
[03:30.14]	We put the water with the wheat
[03:31.84]	and then we made it ferment
[03:34.75]	Shine light through the rain and a spectrum represent
[03:36.87]	We’re pumping water through the veins and the brains content
[03:39.51]	Went down to the river following providence
[03:42.50]	Old man under water gonna die when he repents
[03:46.75]	Old man under water gonna die when he repents
[03:51.44]	But there’s a new man coming up
[03:53.75]	with the wings to ascend
[03:57.88]	The son of man walks on water
[03:59.94]	because he’s heaven sent
[04:03.00]	I’ve these tears in my eyes
[04:04.46]	as I cry with the joy and lament

[00:30.33]	Sweet river roll over me
[00:32.83]	Let my body find peace
[00:34.02]	and let my mind be free
[00:36.27]	Oh my soul sings to Thee
[00:40.52]
[00:41.85]	Sweet river roll over me
[00:44.54]	Let my body find peace
[00:45.85]	and let my mind be free
[00:47.85]	Oh my soul sings to Thee
