Lyrics

I heard the bells from the church like a warning,
Trying to save me from hell-fire burning.
They got me thinking.
I threw the doors of the church wide open.
That girl was standing with her sin showing.
She’s got me thinking, she’s got me praying, she’s got me singing now.

Take me down to the river.
Wash me clean in the mud and deliver me
To your Big Blue Sky.
All this time I’ve been gunning,
Aiming for love but hitting nothing.
I lift up my hands to your Big Blue Sky.

I hear the voice of the man at the altar.
He’s having words with the devil on my shoulder.
He’s got him shaking.
I feel the light shining down from above me.
Now I can see what I let control me.
I can feel it; I can be free.
Oh I believe it now.

Take me down to the river.
Wash me clean in the mud and deliver me
To your Big Blue Sky.
All this time I’ve been gunning,
Aiming for love but hitting nothing.
I lift up my hands to your Big Blue Sky.

I’ve been lost without you, won’t you come and lift me up?
Take me to the muddy bank and drown me in your love.
I can feel the light of your big blue sky above.
Won’t you come and lift me up?

Take me down to the river.
Wash me clean in the mud and deliver me
To your Big Blue Sky.
Take me down to the river.
Wash me clean in the mud and deliver me
To your Big Blue Sky.
All this time I’ve been gunning,
Aiming for love but hitting nothing.
I lift up my hands to your Big Blue Sky.
Yeah, to your big blue sky
(Take me down)
To your big blue sky
(Take me down)
Yeah, to your big blue sky
(Take me down)
To your big blue sky.
