Keith and Renee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching the day drift alway
All my cares and all my sorrows
Are in the river drifting away
Spirit of God is on the waters
Softly gently bring change
If you come down to these waters
Your father will take away your pain
Wade on out and meet the Lord
All the worry's that have bound you
They will bind you no more
Spirit of God is on the waters
Softly gently bring change
If you come down to these waters
Your father will take away your pain
Sister come down to the water
Wade on out and meet the lord
All the worry's that have bound you
They will bind you no more
Spirit of God is on the waters
Softly gently bring change
If you come down to these waters
Your father will take away your pain
The father will take away your pain
Your father will take away your pain
The father will take away your pain
The father will take away your pain
