     G5                               Bb5
Now, in my house there's been a mercy killing
    F5             C5            G5
The man I used to be's been crucified
        G5                                      Bb5
And the death of this man is the final way of revealing,
       F5                 C5           G5
In the spiritual way, to live I had to die


    G5                            Bb5
Now if I let that dead man linger in me,
  F5                  C5        G5
I might get a little idle in my way
       G5                            Bb5
So I'm going down to the celebration river,
      F5                  C5             G5
Gonna take this dead man down to a water grave


G5 - Bb5 - F5 - C5 - G5       x2

G5                    Bb5
I'm going down to the river
F5            C5    G5
I'm gonna be buried alive
G5                Bb5
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
    F5            C5            G5
The man I use to be has finally died


       G5
When I think of where I'm going
   Bb5
In terms of where I've been,
   F5                C5                 G5
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again       x2


G5                    Bb5
I'm going down to the river
F5            C5    G5
I'm gonna be buried alive
G5                Bb5
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
    F5            C5            G5
The man I use to be has finally died       x2
