The River

Down by the river
And near the eastern shore
There is a man who's been searching for love
Where he never has before
He has a weak liver
And his soul is nearly gone
He can't shake off all his wickedness
And he can't stop doing wrong

Down by the river
There is a girl who's seventeen
And all the make up can't protect her eyes
From all the evil that she's seen
And if she don't deliver
Well then her daddy puts her down
But somehow she tries and finds the strength
To pick herself off the ground
Sometimes life it feels like a cancer
There's no reason to love
But I tell you now
You will find the answer in the God
Who came from above

Down by the river
The man and girl they saw a light
And this light it came and spoke to them
And it came to make things right
It came to make things clearer
And the man he found his love
And the girl she rose for all to see
Thanks to the man above

Sometimes life it feels like a cancer
There's no reason to love
But I tell you now
You will find the answer in the God
Who came from above

Ohhh in the dark
Who came from above (our lives declare your glory)
In the dark (your light shines for the world to see)
Who came from above (our lives declare your glory)
Oooh in the dark (your light shines for the world to see)
Who came from the dark (our lives declare your glory)
In the dark (your light shines for the world to see)
Who came from above (our lives declare your glory)
Oohh In the dark (your light shines for the world to see)
Who came from above (our lives declare your glory)
In the dark (your light shines for the world to see)
Who came from the dark (our lives declare your glory)
In the dark (your light shines for the world to see)
Our lives declare your glory
