lyrics

Verse 1

Deep in the shadow you latch your hidden door.
You mine for well-crafted lies,
‘neath these old wooden floors.
They’ll permeate your skin, seep through your pores.
Until this temporary vessel will sail on no more.

But hear the angels cry,
“Salvation’s sitting by your side.”

Verse 2

To run is the not the answer,
to stay is not the goal.
Cause if the moment was truly captured,
why’d you ever let it go?
For every object there’s a master,
for every thought there is a poem.
And there’s a path in every pasture
that leads to where the water flows.

But hear the angels cry,
“Salvation’s sitting by your side.”

Chorus

Let go of what you've done
and let that old river run.
Wash away what you’ve become,
and let that old river run.
Fight the fire of a burning sun,
just let that old river run.
Until thy kingdom come,
let that old river run.

Verse 3

The greatest of deception shows its face in the light.
Because the center of attention is the perfect place to hide.
First the falling of an angel darkened hearts darkened minds,
now something deep inside must die before you'll ever be alive.

But hear the angels cry,
“Salvation’s sitting by your side.”

Chorus

Let go of what you've done
and let that old river run.
Wash away what you’ve become,
and let that old river run.
Fight the fire of a burning sun,
and let that old river run.
Until thy kingdom come,
let that old river run.
