It's Friday and my bills are due

My 3 month old baby need some shoes

Can you feel what I'm going through

Clock on the wall keeps tickin' tockin'

No stoppin' and somebody's knockin

On the do tellin' me to go

Brotha I can't take no mo

So with my knees I hit the flo'

And say help me Jesus, help me Jesus



Let's go down by the riverside

Leave your problems all behind

You can rest troubled minds

Down by the riverside



If I concentrate on all the bad

And all the things I wish I had

How can the dark clouds ever pass

Weeping may endure for a night

But joy comes in the morning light

God he keeps me right

So no matter what the people say

Ain't nobody takin this joy away

In spite of all I've been through I can say

Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus



Let's go down by the riverside

Leave your problems all behind

You can rest troubled minds

Down by the riverside

[3 times]



Well, Well, Well



There's a blessin' in the water ya'll

By the riverside, Say what now

There's a healin' in the water

By the riverside, Say what now
