The sun woke me up real early, it's a beautiful morn.
'Cause I'm going down to the river to be reborn.
Now me and Jesus did some heavy talking last night,
So I'm going down to be dipped and come up walking in the light.

(La la la la la la la la la la,
 La la la la la la la la,
 La la la la la la la la la la,
 La la la la la la la.)

So I'm going down to the river real early this morn.
Jesus said through Him we can be reborn.

Oh the joy that's come inside me
Laughter fills my night and fills my day,
With the song of love to guide me,
And the happy words you send my way.
Life with you has made me feel the miracle of making melody;
Just a simple wonder when you're walking in the light.

(La la la la la la la la la la,
 La la la la la la la la,
 La la la la la la la la la la,
 La la la la la la la
