It′s a sinner's revival

Gotta walk that path where I′ve never tread

It's a matter of survival

Make my peace with the Lord fore I wind up dead, yeah

Whoa, preacher man, won't you lead me by the hand

They′re taking me down to the riverbank

To wash my sins away

They′re taking me down to the riverbank

And on my soul they'll pray

Gripping my bible

Keeping in step with a man who′s got a soul to save

Drowning my rivals, pushing those demons down to an early grave

Whoa, preacher man, won't you help me make a stand

They′re taking me down to the riverbank

To wash my sins away

They're taking me down to the riverbank

And on my soul they′ll pray

They're taking me down to the riverbank

To prepare for judgment day

They're taking me down to the riverbank

Won′t never fly away

Frustration gets the best of any man

Separation from the home where we began

Give me salvation from this temptation

They′re taking me down to the riverbank

To wash my sins away

They're taking me down to the riverbank

And on my soul they′ll pray

They're taking me down to the riverbank

To prepare for judgment day

They′re taking me down to the riverbank

Won't never fly away
