I am going down
To the river
Yes, I'm going down
To the river

I'm gonna pray down
By the river
Yes I'm gonna pray down
By the river

Bury my body
Under the wave
Just like they carry me
In my grave

And I'll ride it all
Through the water
With the spirit
In my soul

Oh, come with me
To the river
Oh, come with me
To the river

Now, oh,, Holy Ghost
We will meet you
And we'll carry you
On to heaven

Jesus, I'm coming
With Thee for me
Untie my body
And set my spirit free

Then I'll rise up
To the heaven
With the Spirit
In my soul

Then I'll rise up
Through the water
With the spirit
In my soul
