Baptized By The River

Baptized By The River Joel Shewmake/Davis Corley There’s a crack in the black sky, It’s startin’ to pour. Hell fallin’ in the night, water on the rise Can’t do nothin’ but pray at this point. Beggin’ God to survive, if you make it out alive, Gonna be a new man crawlin’ out the other side, Chorus Baptized by the river, baptized by the river. Black water rollin’ by o’re my soul now I’m Washed in the blood, away with the flood Leavin’ sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud Baptized by the river in the middle of a thunderstorm. Heavy lightin’ strikin’ & The shore’s on fire, The struggle for your soul feels out of your control As the water keeps gettin’ higher So you close your eyes & you fight to find The strength to keep swimmin’ up towards the light. Chorus Baptized by the river, baptized by the river. Black water rollin’ by o’re my soul now I’m Washed in the blood, away with the flood Leavin’ sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud Baptized by the river in the middle of a thun Chorus Baptized by the river, baptized by the river, Baptized by the river, baptized by the river, Black water rollin’ by o’re my soul now I’m Washed in the blood, away with the flood Leavin’ sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud Baptized by the river in the middle of a thunderstorm.
