Let the Water Wash Away Your Sins - The Hope County Choir

If your soul has grown weary, and your heart feels tired

Let the water wash away your sins

And if the snow begins to fall, and you can’t find the fire

Let the water wash away your sins

If the night time lasts forever, but the days are cruel and mean

Let the water wash away your sins

And you thought one day you’d be happy, if you held in all your screams

Let the water wash away your sins

Let the water wash away your sins

Let the water wash away your sins

Now that this old world is ending, a new one begins

Let the water wash away your sins

If you spent your whole life working, for a world that feeds on doubt

Let the water wash away your sins

And those banks keep getting bigger, while your pockets empty out

Let the water wash away your sins

And if all the thieves and liars have been knocking at your door

Let the water wash away your sins

And they said they’d feed your family, and you believed what they swore

Let the water wash away your sins

Let the water wash away your sins

Let the water wash away your sins

Now that this old world is ending, a new one begins

Let the water wash away your sins

If you thought there was a heaven, but you can’t find the proof

Let the water wash away your sins

And you can see your brothers marching, but you can’t speak your truth

Let the water wash away your sins

Oh, if your mother was a screamer, and your father ruled with fists

Let the water wash away your sins

And if you’re thinking 'bout the highway, and you’re looking at your wrists

Let the water wash away your sins

Let the water wash away your sins

Let the water wash away your sins

Now that this old world is ending, a new one begins

Let the water wash away your sins

(Come on, one more time!)

Let the water wash away your sins

Let the water wash away your sins

Now that this old world is ending, a new one can begin

Let the water wash away your sins
