Lyrics
Oh, let’s all go down to the river
There’s a man that’s walking on the water
Come along with me, for I want to see
This man walking on the water
Well, he can raise the dead from the grave
Change the water, turn it into wine
He can make the lame walk
He can make the lame walk
Open up the eyes of the blind
Let’s all go down to the river
There’s a man that’s walking on the water
Come along with me, for I want to see
This man walking on the water
Oh, Jesus is the man at the river
And He’s washing people’s sins away
Hey, He can save your soul if you give Him control
Be ready for that Judgement Day
Yeah, let’s all go down to the river
There’s a man who’s walking on the water
Yeah, come along with me, for I want to see
This man walking on the water
Oh, let’s all go down to the river
There’s a man that’s walking on the water
Hmm, come along with me, for I want to see
This man walking on the water
Oh, this man walking on the water
