In my house there's been a mercy killing.
The man I used to be has been crucified.
And the death of this man was the final way of revealing,
In the spiritual way to live, I had to die.
Now if I let that dead man linger in me,
I might get a little idol in my way.
So, I'm going down to the celebration river,
And take this dead man down to a water grave.
Chorus:
I'm goin' down to the river.
And I'm gonna be buried alive.
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
The man I use to be has finally died.
Now when I think of where I'm goin',
In terms of where I've been,
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again.
Now when I think of where I'm goin',
In terms of where I've been,
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again.
Chorus
