baptized by the river

there's a crack in the black sky

it's startin' to pour

hell fallin' in the night

water on the rise

can't do nothin' but pray at this point

beggin' god to survive

if you make it out alive

gonna be a new man crawlin' out the other side

baptized by the river

baptized by the river

black water rollin' by o're my soul now i'm

washed in the blood

away with the flood

leavin' sins in my wake thick as mississippi mud

baptized by the river in the middle of a thunderstorm

heavy lightin' strikin' and

the shore's on fire

the struggle for your soul feels out of your control

as the water keeps gettin' higher

so you close your eyes and you fight to find

the strength to keep swimmin' up towards the light

baptized by the river

baptized by the river

black water rollin' by o're my soul now i'm

washed in the blood

away with the flood

leavin' sins in my wake thick as mississippi mud

baptized by the river in the middle of a thunderstorm

baptized by the river

baptized by the river

baptized by the river

baptized by the river

black water rollin' by o're my soul now i'm

washed in the blood

away with the flood

leavin' sins in my wake thick as mississippi mud

baptized by the river in the middle of a thunderstorm

baptized
