Now, in my house there's been a mercy killing
The man I used to be's been crucified
And the death of this man is the final way of revealing,
In the spiritual way, to live I had to die
Now if I let that dead man linger in me,
I might get a little idle in my way
So I'm going down to the celebration river,
Gonna take this dead man down to a water grave
- - - - x2
I'm going down to the river
I'm gonna be buried alive
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
The man I use to be has finally died
When I think of where I'm going
In terms of where I've been,
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again x2
I'm going down to the river
I'm gonna be buried alive
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
The man I use to be has finally died x2
