Jamie Macdonald Left It In The River Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had burdens on my shoulders all my life
I tried and tried to leave 'em all behind
But freedom's one thing I could never find (Mmm-mmm)

[Pre-Chorus]
I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there, showing me something better

[Chorus]
Mmm-mmm
My life was changed
When I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains
Since I gave ‘em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt?
Whеre is my shame?
I left it in thе river, (River), oh
I left it in the river, (River), oh
[Verse 2]
Now, there's nothing that can take this joy I've found
He raised me up and I ain't coming down
He washed me clean and now there ain't no doubt
He turned it all around

[Chorus]
My life was changed
When I stepped into the water Ain't seen my chains
Since I gave 'em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt?
Where is my shame?
I left it in the river, (River), oh
I left it in the river, (River), oh-oh

[Bridge]
I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there showing me something better
I left my wrongs at the bottom of the river
I said so long, said goodbye forever

[Chorus]
My life was changed
When I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains
Since I gave ‘em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt?
Where is my shame?
I left it in the river, (River), oh
I left it in the river, (River), oh
I left it in the river, (River), oh
I left it in the river, (River), oh
I left it in the river
