Jamie MacDonald - Left It In The River

Sometimes life drags us through the mud, but we can throw our burdens into God’s river and let Him wash it all away.
Freedom isn’t passive, it’s choosing to release, to trust, and to rise.

Lyrics:
had burdens on my shoulders all my life
I tried and tried to leave 'em all behind
But freedom's one thing I could never find, mm

I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there, showing me something better (mm)

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains since I gave 'em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh

Now, there's nothing that can take this joy I've found
He raised me up and I ain't coming down
He washed me clean and now there ain't no doubt
He turned it all around

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains since I gave 'em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh-oh

I said a prayer from the banks of a river (ooh)
God met me there, showing me something better (ooh)
I left my wrongs at the bottom of the river (ooh)
I said so long, said goodbye forever (ooh)

My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain't seen my chains since I gave 'em to the Father
Hallelujah, I've been delivered
Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh

I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river
