river of grace

there is a place

far from this worried world

where freedom awaits

that burden you've got

locked inside

oh how we tend to hide

so won't you go there with me

down to the riverside

where the water runs free

and you can let your heart

swing open wide

won't you swing it open wide

'cause baby

you weren't meant to carry such a load

lay it down and we can watch it go

down the river of grace

the river of grace

and all it takes

is a little bit of faith

and jesus comes

and carries it away

down the river of grace

the river of grace

here's the beautiful thing

that river runs inside you

and you can go anytime

and it's there your savior

waits for you

he's waiting there for you

cast your every care

cast them way out there

in the river deep

in the endless supply

and feel your heart rise up

from that cleansing flow

so clean and free

so true and alive

so true and alive

so true and alive

'cause baby

you weren't meant to carry such a load

lay it down and we can watch it go

down the river of grace

the river of grace

and all it takes

is a little bit of faith

and jesus comes

and carries it away

down the river of grace

the river of grace
