Waves in the Jordan
[Verse 1]
I came in low, hands full of rain
Heart like a house with a busted frame
Mama said, child, call His name
So I called, and I called, and I called again
[Verse 2]
Mud on my dress, dust on my feet
Tears hit the floor like a second beat
I was too tired to even speak
But mercy found me in the deep
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I felt that fire
Rising under my skin
Oh, I heard a choir
Say, “Baby, let Him in”
[Chorus]
Take me higher, higher
My soul caught fire
Take me higher, higher
You pull me through the wire
(Mercy)
Take me higher, higher
My soul caught fire
Take me higher, higher
I’m alive in the river
[Verse 3]
Old chains shook when I said “Amen”
The night split open, let the morning in
I had a wound, now I got a hymn
I was broken, now I’m whole again
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I felt that fire
Rising under my skin
Oh, I heard a choir
Say, “Baby, let Him in”
[Chorus]
Take me higher, higher
My soul caught fire
Take me higher, higher
You pull me through the wire
(Mercy)
Take me higher, higher
My soul caught fire
Take me higher, higher
I’m alive in the river
[Bridge]
When the ground gave way
You held my name
When the wolves came close
You broke the chain
(You broke the chain)
I was lost in the dark
Now I see Your face
Let the whole room shake
Let the whole room praise
[Final Chorus]
Take me higher, higher
My soul caught fire
Take me higher, higher
You pull me through the wire
(Hallelujah)
Take me higher, higher
My soul caught fire
Take me higher, higher
I’m alive in the river
Take me higher, higher
My soul caught fire
Take me higher, higher
I’m alive in the river
