[C]I had [Em]burdens on my [D]shoulders all my [C]life
I [Em]tried and tried to [D]leave ‘em all be[C]hind
But [Em]freedom’s one thing [D]I could never [C]find [D]
I said a [C]prayer from the banks of a [Em]river [D]
God met me [C]there showing me something [Em]better [D]
[C]My life was changed When I [Em]stepped into the [D]water
[C]Ain’t seen my chains Since I [Em]gave ‘em to the [D]Father
[C]Hallelujah [Em]I’ve been del[D]ivered
[C]Where is my guilt? Where is my [Em]shame?
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
[C]Now there’s [Em]nothing that [D]take this joy I’ve [C]found
He [Em]raised me up and [D]I ain’t coming [C]down
He [Em]washed me clean and [D]now
there ain’t no [C]doubt [D]He turned it all around
[C]My life was changed When I [Em]stepped into the [D]water
[C]Ain’t seen my chains Since I [Em]gave ‘em to the [D]Father
[C]Hallelujah [Em]I’ve been del[D]ivered
[C]Where is my guilt? Where is my [Em]shame?
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
[D]I said a [C]prayer from the banks of a [Em]river
[D]God met [C]me there showing me something [Em]better
[D]I left my [C]wrongs at the bottom of the [Em]river
[D]I said so [C]long, said goodbye fo[Em]rever [D]
[C]My life was changed When I [Em]stepped into the [D]water
[C]Ain’t seen my chains Since I [Em]gave ‘em to the [D]Father
[C]Hallelujah [Em]I’ve been del[D]ivered
[C]Where is my guilt? Where is my [Em]shame?
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
I [D]left it in the [C]river (river), [Em]oh
I [D]left it in the [C]river
