I took a walk down to the river 
A broken heart in my hands 
Before the Taker and the Giver 
To make my final stand 

I waded out into the water 
And I sank just like a stone 
But I was lifted by the Angel 
To never be alone 

And I never knew 
I could lay my burdens down 
And I never knew 
Redemption could be found 
But I know now 

I saw Your mercy in the morning 
In the color of the sky 
I let the Spirit wash me over 
And the sun began to rise 

I took a walk down to the river 
And I laid my burdens down 
Before the Taker and the Giver 
And I am finally found
