Down To the River

 River, Marina Moevs, 2005

You can give your sins to Jesus

You can wash them in the river

You can throw them in the ocean

But don't bring them to me

You can tell it on the mountain

You can tell in confession

You can tell it to a five buck whore

But I don't wanna hear it any more

Jesus may have died for your sins

but I'm not breakin' another nail

God may be callin' you home

but I'm lockin' the doors.
