| The sun woke me up real early, it's a beautiful morn. | |
| 'Cause I'm going down to the river to be reborn. | |
| Now me and Jesus did some heavy talking last night, | |
| So I'm going down to be dipped and come up walking in the light. | |
| (La la la la la la la la la la, | |
| La la la la la la la la, | |
| La la la la la la la la la la, | |
| La la la la la la la.) | |
| So I'm going down to the river real early this morn. | |
| Jesus said through Him we can be reborn. | |
| Oh the joy that's come inside me | |
| Laughter fills my night and fills my day, | |
| With the song of love to guide me, | |
| And the happy words you send my way. | |
| Life with you has made me feel the miracle of making melody; | |
| Just a simple wonder when you're walking in the light. | |
| (La la la la la la la la la la, | |
| La la la la la la la la, | |
| La la la la la la la la la la, | |
| La la la la la la la.) |
