Baptized By The River

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

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’ and
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

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

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
Baptized by the river
