Sweet River Roll |
| Sweet river roll over me |
| Let my body find peace and let my mind be free |
| Oh my soul sings to Thee |
| The wild man he just killed my religion |
| He cut it to the bone like a needed incision |
| The cancerous growth of formulaic precision |
| That blocks the life-blood in rebellious collision |
| Cold constructs robbing faith from decision |
| But where’s your rubric for the man that was risen |
| He is my vision, he is my vision, be Thou my vision |
| When the tables have turned, and I’ve lost money earned, and temples are burned |
| By His scars, we will learn about truth |
| In the depths of our souls that are marred by the tooth of a beast |
| Underneath so many deceased, sold out suckers traded life to be yeast |
| Just to get a piece or a status increase |
| Find grace and have peace when you eat the Lords feast |
| And you eat, of His flesh, and His blood |
| It’s coming quick and strong as the mightiest flood |
| Yet my mind still gets stuck in the mud |
| Bottom feeding on the trash like a catfish, brats wish on all of that which |
| Is established to sit ill in hearts and in our souls, sweet river roll |
| Sweet river roll over me |
| Let my body find peace and let my mind be free |
| Oh my soul sings to Thee |
| It’s like the water in the valley, submerged totally |
| Yet all the children rally around the safety of their shallow beliefs |
| Let’s swim against the current out and into the deep |
| But first I pray the Lord for my soul to keep |
| That price paid was not cheap as I stand knee deep in His blood |
| We’re knee deep in his blood |
| See, I choose to refuse, to substitute the regulated rhetoric of someone else’s |
| rehearsed ideals |
| In place of a real living commitment, Hell no |
| We put the rock in the water and it made cement |
| We put the water with the wheat and then we made it ferment |
| Shine light through the rain and a spectrum represent |
| We’re pumping water through the veins and the brains content |
| Went down to the river following providence |
| Old man underwater gonna die when he repents |
| Old man underwater gonna die when he repents |
| But there’s a new man coming up with the wings to ascend |
| The son of man walks on water because he’s heaven sent |
| I’ve these tears in my eyes as I cry with the joy and lament |
| Sweet river roll over me |
| Let my body find peace and let my mind be free |
| Oh my soul sings to Thee |
