Caitelen Take Me Down lyrics

See this high mountain that I have to climb
the path is stony and my feet are bare
See the wide river that I have to swim
But the man on the other side bids me come to him

See this old man hanging on to me
The weight of all my sorrows is the burden that he keeps
There's a long race that I have to run
Oh God have mercy on my soul until this work is done

Take me down to the water
and let me catch my breath
I'm a crippled fool longing for the cleansing pool
but without your love, there's no hope in life but death


See that lonely tree standing high on Calvary hill
The ground beneath is laden with the blood my True Love spilled
But there's a sweet, sweet song, I once was damned, but now I'm saved,
And a man with a heavy stone is pointing to the empty grave!
And a man with a heavy stone is pointing to the empty grave!

Take me down to the water
and let me catch my breath
No more crippled fool longing for the cleansing pool
This forever love saved me from forever death
