Take Me To The River - John Elefante

We talk about love, we talk about truth, we talk about mercy

They are words we often use even though we still abuse each other

Why do we find it hard to comprehend that there’s a love that knows no end

There’s no question in my mind where I would go to find

Where my sins will be forgotten and the water turns to wine

So take me to the river when my well runs dry

Where the weak become the strong, and I won’t be denied

Where my faith can move a mountain and the foolish are the wise

So take me to the river when my well runs dry

Let it rain down from the heavens, fill my hearts desire

Like a mountain filled with fire, let it overflow

It will be like in a dream, like no place you’ve ever seen

Let it take you

To a river far and wide where you’ll never be denied

I wanna be next to you, I just wanna be next to you

So take me to the river when my well runs dry

Where the weak become the strong and I won’t be denied

Where my faith can move a mountain and my soul is satisfied

Take me to the river when my well runs dry

Where my sins are all forgotten and the water turns to wine

Won’t you take me to the river

If I could build a ladder reaching to the sky

I would shake the clouds and let it rain on me

But all that I can do is rely on you

To wash me in the river of your love

To wash me in the river of your love

So take me to the river when my well runs dry

where the weak become the strong, and I won’t be denied

Where my faith can move a mountain and the foolish are the wise

Won’t you take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me, take me
