Left It In The River Songtext
von Jamie MacDonald

I had burdens on my shoulders all my life
I tried and tried to leave ′em all behind
But freedom's one thing I could never find, mm

I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there, showing me something better (mm)

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain′t seen my chains since I gave 'em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh

Now, there′s nothing that can take this joy I′ve found
He raised me up and I ain't coming down
He washed me clean and now there ain′t no doubt
He turned it all around


My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains since I gave ′em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh-oh

I said a prayer from the banks of a river (ooh)
God met me there, showing me something better (ooh)
I left my wrongs at the bottom of the river (ooh)
I said so long, said goodbye forever (ooh)

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain′t seen my chains since I gave 'em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh

I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river
