Oh, Lord, the river's rising, soon my soul will be free.
Go and tell all the people
The rain is starting to fall
Go and tell all the people
To listen for my call
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
River's rising on me
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
Soon my soul will be free
Go and tell all the people
No time to hesitate now
Go and tell all the people
Our God is keeping his vow
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
River's rising on me
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
Soon my soul will be free
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
River's rising on me
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
Soon my soul will be free
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
River's rising on me
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
Soon my soul will be free
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
River's rising on me
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
Soon my soul will be free
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
River's rising on me
Oh, Lord, the river's rising
Soon my soul will be free
