When I'm in trouble

When I'm sinking down

Caught up in this struggle

Stuck out on the wrong side of town

Lord I know you won't forsake me

You help me rise above

Let your spirit take me down

To the river of love



Wash my soul in your water

Turn me around

And I'll surrender all like I ought to

When I go down

To the river of love

River of love

Take me down, down down

To the river of love



Dip my hands in your water

So cool and clear

Pouring down from the altar

There's healing here

Lord I know you won't forsake me

You help me rise above

Let your spirit take me down

To the river of love



Wash my soul in your water

Turn me around

And I'll surrender all like I ought to

When I go down

To the river of love

River of love

Take me down, down down

To the river of love
