Jacob Bryant - Baptized By The River Lyrics

Baptized By The River
Joel Shewmake/Davis Corley

There's a crack in the black sky,
It's startin' to pour.
Hell fallin' in the night, water on the rise
Can't do nothin' but pray at this point.
Beggin' God to survive, if you make it out alive,
Gonna be a new man crawlin' out the other side,

Chorus
Baptized by the river, baptized by the river.
Black water rollin' by o're my soul now I'm
Washed in the blood, away with the flood
Leavin' sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud
Baptized by the river in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Heavy lightin' strikin' &
The shore's on fire,
The struggle for your soul feels out of your control
As the water keeps gettin' higher
So you close your eyes & you fight to find
The strength to keep swimmin' up towards the light.

Chorus
Baptized by the river, baptized by the river.
Black water rollin' by o're my soul now I'm
Washed in the blood, away with the flood
Leavin' sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud
Baptized by the river in the middle of a thun

Chorus
Baptized by the river, baptized by the river,
Baptized by the river, baptized by the river,
Black water rollin' by o're my soul now I'm
Washed in the blood, away with the flood
Leavin' sins in my wake thick as Mississippi mud
Baptized by the river in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Baptized by the river
