You Are the River

Intro

Oh—oh, ah, oh

(amen)

Verse

I carried every mark, a list I could not hide

Walking under weight, shoulders bowed and tired

You came with open hands, You called me by my name

Took the law, took the blame, and turned my shame to praise

You lifted every doubt, splashed mercy on my skin

Now I stand forgiven, and the new life starts within

Pre-chorus

All that I was, all that I've done

Faded in the blood of the Son (hallelujah)

Grace ran like river, mercy met my fear

I lift my voice — You are here (You are here)

Chorus

You are the river, You are the cure

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (I am free)

You broke the chains, You opened the door

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (hallelujah)

Verse

The sentence written down, every fault in black and white

But on the tree You bore it, turned my darkness into light

Forgiveness like a flood, covering my sin

Every doubt, every scar, You wiped them all again

I am not what I owed, I'm the child You came to find

Hand in hand with mercy, leaving every past behind

Pre-chorus

Chains fell with a cry, fear melted into praise

From the cross to the empty tomb You changed my ways (oh)

I raise my life, I will not be the same (no)

Chorus

You are the river, You are the cure

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (I am free)

You broke the chains, You opened the door

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (hallelujah)

Bridge

Hallelujah, hallelujah (hallelujah)

Sin's mark wiped clean, my name written by Your hand

By Your wounds I'm whole, by Your grace I stand

Jesus Christ, my ransom, Jesus Christ, my friend (oh)

Forever forgiven, forever I'm redeemed (amen)

Chorus

You are the river, You are the cure

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (I am free)

You broke the chains, You opened the door

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (hallelujah)

Chorus

You are the river, You are the cure

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (I am free, I am free)

You broke the chains, You opened the door

You paid it for me, You made me pure

Jesus, Jesus Christ, I am free, I am free (amen)
