Lyrics:
HOOK Oh brothers let’s go down Let’s go down come on down Oh brothers let’s go down Down to the river to pray Good ole’ way
VERSE 1 I pray you forgive me for all of my doubts God when My heart is encumbered and I’m slipping under my spirit so down trodden So father remind me of simpler times when I knew that you’d guide me through every storm Cause lately it’s hazy that day that you saved me has turned to a maybe I’m simply not sure Were you even there at all Did you really hear that call Cause I - I remember that fall Feeling like my back was up against that wall And I - I hit my knees and I stayed there for over 4 weeks Back in those days every time I would pray I could swear I hear my Lord speak And I gave my life up, gave a lot of pain and strife up And it really felt good and I felt like i could cause I knew where I gained my light from But these days it’s so hard And these days it’s so dark And these days I pray and pray and pray but still feel no spark No heart so far
HOOK
VERSE 2 So father please come back Please father just come back Give me an answer give me an answer Remind me where is that love at I went to the river I went underwater I came up again and I raised up my hands Forgiven delivered from slaughter And destruction and dysfunction And that terrible rut I was stuck in And thank God I was changed my family was saved Was living in grace and was loving it But I’m in that rut again Still seeking you through all this suffering I pray it gets better but nothing ends The mud has been once again shoveled in So tighten my belt and I suck it in But the troubles been that I’m buckling I need a revival, so read through my Bible Been checking the skies for vital signs of life God where did the time go, my sights gone And Christ knows I’m so light low
VERSE 3 When it felt so real And it felt so right When you felt so near me God When I felt your light Now it’s all routine Religion by ritual But it don’t feel free And it doesn’t feel spiritual And somedays I just think I’m really in need of a place where I can pray alone My patience gone my faith has grown so cold God who I’m waiting on I’m falling apart just waiting for good news, so if you Are the God that I say that you are just open your heart and God you could glue The pieces together believe that you never would leave us and sever the peace of forever And ever and ever and ever and ever, you never gone leave us you really mean never Too much adversity’s hurting me certainly Praying so fervently come do your work in me Lately the earth has been doing it’s worst to me Pardon the urgency have you deserted me I’m pretty sure I need spiritual surgery
HOOK
