The Imperials - Water Grave lyrics

In my house there's been a mercy k**ing The man I used to be has been crucified And the d**h of this man was the final way of revealing In the spiritual way to live, I had to die Now if I let that dead man linger in me I might get a little idol in my way So, I'm going down to the celebration river And take this dead man down to a water grave Chorus: I'm goin' down to the river And I'm gonna be buried alive I want to show my Heavenly Father The man I use to be has finally died Now when I think of where I'm goin' In terms of where I've been It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again Now when I think of where I'm goin' In terms of where I've been It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again Chorus
