Pastor, please, forgive me
From the man that I'm supposed to be
But, now, that time has come
I won't complain and try to blame
Now, it's high time that I pay the price
But can I have one more chance to do right?
Take me down to the river
Let the water run over me
Drop me down in the water
To break my fall from grace
Let my wrongs sink to the bottom
And bring me up a new man today
I brawled with my brother
Don't know how she didn't give up on me
All the agony and every tragedy, I deserve it (I do)
But my spirit done been stirring
Take me down to the river
Let the water run over me
Drop me down in the water
To break my fall from grace
Let my wrongs sink to the bottom
And bring me up a new man today
