I've Seen Rivers

I've seen the River Rise

Letting the water run down

I've seen it wash

Away my

Iniquities and Perplexities.

Rising up to meet me.

Lay down you all's hands

For your souls will rise,

And they will illuminate themselves here

Letting you leave

Your burdens behind.

Watch the river run down

Let it reveal itself to you

Be a witness

To the ebbs

Of the past

and the flows

Of the future

As time is made anew.

Take them on down to sea

Fetch yourself some water down there

As you embrace the elixir

Your soul will be made

Free.
