There is a place, far from this worried world
Where freedom awaits, that burden you've got
Locked inside, oh how we tend to hide

So won't you go there with me
Down to the riverside, where the water runs free
And you can let your heart
Swing open wide, won't you swing it open wide

'Cause baby, you weren't meant to carry such a load
Lay it down and we can watch it go
Down the river of grace, the river of grace
And all it takes, is a little bit of faith
And Jesus comes, and carries it away
Down the river of grace, the river of grace

Here's the beautiful thing, that river runs inside you
And you can go anytime, and it's there your Savior
Waits for you, He's waiting there for you

Cast your every care, cast them way out there
In the river deep, in the endless supply
And feel your heart rise up, from that cleansing flow
So clean and free, so true and alive
So true and alive, so true and alive

'Cause baby, you weren't meant to carry such a load
Lay it down and we can watch it go
Down the river of grace, the river of grace
And all it takes, is a little bit of faith
And Jesus comes, and carries it away
Down the river of grace, the river of grace
