Verse 1:
I went down to the river
A man He came to me
He told me of a secret
A place where even I could become free, become free.
He led me down the river
Until I saw the sea
A darkness fills the waters
But grace grows on it’s shores forevermore, forevermore.
Chorus:
He told me of a sea that forgets my wrongs
The darkest hours of my days are gone
And while I wanted to jump in, erase the memory
I knew this was not my sea
But then He came and found me
Verse 2:
The darkness of the waters, The beauty of this place
I wanted to escape but, I knew that peace would come if I just stayed
I sat until the sunset, Reflecting on my days
Remembering the hurts and the valleys I just wanted to erase
Bridge:
It’s my story, the pain and the valley
You will find me here, on the shores of the sea
Cause in these water, a power to forget
And to remember the power to forgive
Now you’re wiping every tear
I know now why you brought me here
