Chris Braman - Sweet River Roll lyrics

Sweet river roll over me Let my body find peace and let my mind be free Oh my soul sings to Thee The wild man he just k**ed my religion He cut it to the bone like a needed incision The cancerous growth of formulaic precision That blocks the life-blood in rebellious collision Cold constructs robbing faith from decision But where's your rubric for the man that was risen He is my vision, he is my vision, be Thou my vision When the tables have turned, and I've lost money, and temples are burned By His scars we will learn about truth In the depths of our souls that are marred by the tooth of a beast Underneath so many deceased, sold out s**ers traded life to be yeast Just to get a piece or a status increase Find grace and have peace when you eat the Lords feast And you eat, of His flesh, and His blood It's coming quick and strong as the mightiest flood Yet my mind still gets stuck in the mud Bottom feeding on the trash like a catfish, brats wish on all of that which Is established to sit ill in hearts and in our souls, sweet river roll Sweet river roll over me Let my body find peace and let my mind be free Oh my soul sings to Thee It's like the water in the valley, submerged totally Yet all the children rally around the safety of their shallow beliefs Let's swim against the current out and into the deep But first I pray the Lord for my soul to keep That price payed was not cheap as I stand knee deep in His blood We're knee deep in his blood See, I choose to refuse the regulated rhetoric of someone elses rehearsed ideals In place of a real living commitment, Hell no We put the rock in the water and it made cement We put the water with the wheat and then we made it ferment Shine light through the rain and a spectrum represent We're pumping water through the veins and the brains content Went down to the river following providence Old man under water gonna die when he repents Old man under water gonna die when he repents But there's a new man coming up with the wings to ascend The son of man walks on water because he's heaven sent I've these tears in my eyes as I cry with the joy and lament Sweet river roll over me Let my body find peace and let my mind be free Oh my soul sings to Thee
