Bb majorBb
Now, in my house there's been a mercy killing
G minorGm
The man I used to be's been crucified
Bb majorBb
And the death of this man is the final way of revealing,
G minorGm
In the spiritual way, to live I had to die
Bb majorBb
Now if I let that dead man linger in me,
G minorGm
I might get a little idle in my way
Bb majorBb
So I'm going down to the celebration river,
G minorGm
Gonna take this dead man down to a water grave
G minorGm x2
Bb majorBb
I'm going down to the river
G minorGm
I'm gonna be buried alive
Bb majorBb
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
G minorGm
The man I use to be has finally died
G minorGm
When I think of where I'm going
Bb majorBb
In terms of where I've been,
G minorGm
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again x2
Bb majorBb
I'm going down to the river
G minorGm
I'm gonna be buried alive
Bb majorBb
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
G minorGm
The man I use to be has finally died x2
