Take Me Down -

Take Me Down

A weary child in a barren land

Wanders lonely, shifting sands

When you walk forsaken ground

Well, you might not be found

I need relief from the burning sun

From where I’ve been and what I’ve done

My spirit longs for a sweet release

To find some comfort and some peace

So take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my troubles and my pain

So take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my sorrow and my shame — take me down

I’ve been so long in the wilderness

It sure seems like forever, I guess

I nearly died on this winding road

From my heavy load

There are chains that keep us bound

We fade away without a sound

Let this sad prisoner be freed

Sweet redemption is what I need

So take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my troubles and my pain

So take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my sorrow, wash away my sorrow and my shame

Some day I’ll be leaving

Go so far from this grieving

But ‘til then, water will do

I’ll find strength to see me through

Oh, take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my troubles and my pain

Oh, take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my sorrow, wash away my sorrow

Oh, take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my troubles and my pain

Oh, take me down, take me down to the water

Wash away my sorrow, wash away my sorrow and my shame

Take me down…
