Michael Jacobs Take Me Down lyrics

Take Me Down
A weary child in a barren land
Wanders lonely, shifting sands
When you walk forsaken ground
Well, you might not be found
I need relief from the burning sun
From where I've been and what I've done
My spirit longs for a sweet release
To find some comfort and some peace

So take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my troubles and my pain
So take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my sorrow and my shame - take me down

I've been so long in the wilderness
It sure seems like forever, I guess
I nearly died on this winding road
From my heavy load
There are chains that keep us bound
We fade away without a sound
Let this sad prisoner be freed
Sweet redemption is what I need


So take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my troubles and my pain
So take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my sorrow and my shame

Some day I'll be leaving
Go so far from this grieving
But ‘til then, water will do
I'll find strength to see me through

Oh, take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my troubles and my pain
Oh, take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my sorrow
Oh, take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my troubles and my pain
Oh, take me down, take me down to the water
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my sorrow and my shame
Take me down…
