Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from you
Ten-thousand miles gone

Oh, I wanna come near and give
Every part of me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

In my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And he'll wipe your slate clean"

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go on
Take me to your river
I wanna know

Tip me in your smooth water
I go in
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan

Oh, I wanna come near and give
Every part of me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Go on
Take me to your river
I wanna know

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna know

This song has a fantastic Gospel message.  "Surrender to the good Lord and He'll wipe your slate clean."

This has a golden Sam Cooke vibe to me.

One of my favorite songs of all time. The first time I heard it I got goosebumps! Then my friend, a session drummer, pointed out that the tambourine often misses the beat by a fraction of a second throughout the song and that is now mostly the only thing I can pay attention to now.

I knew the track before. Liked it from the start. Very satisfying to find it on RP

Wow. I feel like this could easily be from more than 50 years ago. It feels like it echoes the best aspects of this kind of song. Caught me immediately. Made me think. Filled me with emotions. Instant 8. Can imagine going up over time.

I'll just say it's decent and bluesy
