River in My Chest

[Verse 1]

I came in tired

Dust on my shoes

Hands full of worry

Head full of blues

You met me low

By the water line

Said, “Lay it down now”

So I laid mine

[Pre-Chorus]

And I felt that old weight

Start loosening

Felt that old fear

Start losing me

[Chorus]

River in my chest

Wash me clean

River in my chest

Carry me

I was barely holding on

Now I’m held

River in my chest

You know me well

[Verse 2]

There’s a crack in the cup

But the light still pours

There’s a scar on my heart

But it beats for more

My name on Your tongue

Like morning dew

Every broken piece

Belongs to You

[Pre-Chorus]

And I felt that old weight

Start loosening

Felt that old fear

Start losing me

[Chorus]

River in my chest

Wash me clean

River in my chest

Carry me

I was barely holding on

Now I’m held

River in my chest

You know me well

[Bridge]

Oh, lift me higher

Than my ache

Oh, keep me singing

Till I wake

Make me gentle

Make me brave

Let Your mercy

Teach me how to stay

[Final Chorus]

River in my chest

Wash me clean

River in my chest

Carry me

I was barely holding on

Now I’m held

River in my chest

You know me well

River in my chest

Wash me clean

River in my chest

Carry me

I was barely holding on

Now I’m held

River in my chest

You know me well
