There's a river that's swollen with rain

You wouldn't guess that I've known so much pain

I've got a heart swollen with pride

You wouldn't guess what I have inside

Oh, it feels so good to have you around

I feel the walls come tumblin' down

I'm ready to change, ready to feel

To be revealed



Take my life in your hands

Take my love, be my man

I'm tired of all the lonely nights

I need someone to hold me in the candlelight

Take my life, I want to live

I Have so much more I want to give

I need a love that cuts like a knife to take my life



There's a river that's runnin' wild

Could I take you back when I was a child

I want to see just who I am

And to be revealed



Take my life in your hands

Take my love, be my man

I'm tired of all the lonely nights

I need someone to hold me in the candlelight

Take my life, I want to live

I have so much more I want to give

I need a love that cuts like a knife to take my life



Take my hand and lead me

With your love you can free me

Oh, take the chains away from my heart, take my life
