Lyrics
DOWN BY THE RIVER CHORUS: We dance by the river, Where our sins are washed away. We're grateful to Jesus; we owe Him praise. O friend of sinners, Your love is all we thirst for. Glory to Jesus; we are renewed. VERSE ONE: I will run to the Lord, for He is my helper, and He is kind. I will give my all to the Lord, for He is all I have in this world. Down by the river, we rejoice; We will sing His praises without end. Down by the river, we will dance, Singing "holy, holy" until the end. VERSE TWO: You are the Rock on which I stand; You are my strength and hope, Ancient of Days. I call on You in times of need, You come and shield me, Lord, with Your grace. Down by the river, we rejoice; We will sing His praises without end. Down by the river, we will dance, Singing "holy, holy" until the end.
