Children of Eden, sinners and thieves

Come to the river, find your release

Your guilty stains have been redeemed

Remove your rags, you will be free



Come wash in the river

Come drink your fill

Let healing waters

Bear away your guilt

Lay down your burdens

On that beautiful shore

Come wash in the river

Come be reborn



You weary soldier with battered shield

Come bath your wounds, you will be healed

Your heart renewed, your hope restored

Just go under the water and thirst no more



Come wash in the river

Come drink your fill

Let healing waters

Bear away your guilt

Lay down your burdens

On that beautiful shore

Come wash in the river

Come be reborn



Come to the river (come to the river)

Come to the river (lay your burdens down)

Come to the river with me (find help, find healing)

Come to the river (come drink your fill)

Come to the river (it's flowing down)

That's flowing down from Calvary



Come wash in the river

Come drink your fill

Let healing waters

Bear away your guilt

Lay down your burdens

On that beautiful shore

Come wash in the river

Come be reborn
