Put it Down

(Rap to the beat of your own drummer)

There’s a time and that time is now,

To put it all down,

Yeah, put it all down.

Lay aside your troubles

And pick up your faith.

Faith like you’ve never known it,

Faith like you’ve never owned it,

Fierce and so deep, faith’ll carry you for keeps —

Haul that heavy load no more, no more

Set it down, now,

Yeah, lay it on down.

You can make it, you take it, know that you can,

Like a mighty river, like a river roll on.

You dip your oar in the current and you pull it to the left;

You dip your oar in the current and you pull it to the right,

Roll on mighty river, roll on,

Oh yeah!

Now I don’t know, but I’ve been told

That grief-born plan can’t take no hold,

You lift up your burdens and you toss ‘em all away

‘Cause that old way it don’t hold no sway

Roll on mighty river, roll on.

You think you’re doin’ penance

But it ain’t got a chance

Miraculous perfection, yeah, that’s your dance.

You dip your oar in the current and you pull it to the left;

You dip your oar in the current and you pull it to the right,

Roll on mighty river, roll on.

Hey lies, you lies, all alibis

You got it and you know it, ain’t no surprise.

Child divine from heaven above,

You ain’t nothin’, ain’t nothin’ ain’t nothin’ but love,

Yeah love, love, God above

Roll on mighty river, roll on,

Yeah!
