Lyrics
Verse 1
I walked down to that river
With a lifetime on my back
Every wrong turn, every heartache
Every piece of my past
I’d already given Jesus
Everything I had inside
But I wanted the whole world to know
I’d chosen His side
Pre-Chorus
The preacher took my hand
I heard him say my name
I took one breath and closed my eyes
And I never came up the same
Chorus
I left it in the water
Every chain that held me down
Went under with my yesterday
Came up on holy ground
The water didn’t save me
Jesus already did
But I went down to show the world
My old life died with Him
I raised my hands toward Heaven
Tears running down my face
I left it in the water
And came up covered in grace
Verse 2
That river wasn’t magic
It was just water running free
But it meant everything that morning
When it washed across me
It was more than just a moment
More than something people saw
It was me saying, “Jesus, I’m Yours
My life belongs to You, Lord”
Chorus
I left it in the water
Every chain that held me down
Went under with my yesterday
Came up on holy ground
The water didn’t save me
Jesus already did
But I went down to show the world
My old life died with Him
I raised my hands toward Heaven
Tears running down my face
I left it in the water
And came up covered in grace
Bridge
Buried with Him beneath the water
Raised to walk a brand-new road
No, I won’t say that I’m perfect
But I know who holds my soul
And when the devil brings up yesterday
Trying to tell me who I’ve been
I’ll point him back toward that river
And say, “I ain’t going back again!”
Final Chorus
I left it in the water
All the guilt and all the shame
I went down calling Jesus
And came up praising His name
The water didn’t save me
It was the blood of Calvary
But that river told my story
Of what Jesus did for me
Now every step I’m taking
I’m walking by His grace
I left my past there in the water
And rose up in Jesus’ name
Outro
I went down with my yesterday…
I came up knowing who I am.
Saved by Jesus.
Washed in grace.
And I’m never going back again.
