"Left It In The River (Backyard)" lyrics

Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river

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, mm
So I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there showing me something better

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, oh
River
I left it in the river, oh
River

Now there's nothing that 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

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, oh
River
I left it in the river, oh
River

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

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, oh
River
I left it in the river, oh
River
I left it in the river, oh
River
I left it in the river, oh
River
I left it in the river
