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
