Hasten to the River Lyrics

Hasten to the river where they're calling my name

Pull me under and drowning me once again

Nothing but a stream of deep water

Hold me down 'til I throw the fight

There was a time I tried to keep a part of me

Covering my eyes from the searing heat

The burning heat, the fiery heat

Danger, promise sweet

Hasten to the river where they're singing my song

Feel the rhythm of the place where I belong

Pulled my soul from the fire

The darkest night

Silent screams ring out through history

Eternally, embracing me

Danger, promise sweet

Hold me down in the water

I said, hold me down when I slip away

Hold me down when I slip away

I slip away

Burning old desires keep on trying to fight

Serpentine ambition keeps me wake through the night

Poison in the belly from the devil's bite

Wash me Jesus, wash me Jesus, save me tonight

There's no point in running from it

Hounds are chasing, closing on me

There's nowhere else I'd rather stay, rather stay
