There is a place, far from this worried world
Where freedom awaits
From that burden you've got locked inside
Oh, how you tend to hide

So won't you go there with me, down to the riverside
Where the water runs free
And you can let your heart swing open wide
Won't you swing it open wide?
'Cause baby, you weren't made to carry such a load
Lay it down and we can watch it go down the river of grace
Oh, the river of grace

And all it takes is a little bit of faith
And Jesus comes and carries it away down the river of grace
Oh, the river of grace
Here's the beautiful thing, that river runs inside you
And you can go anytime
And it's there your Savior waits for you
Yeah, He's waiting there for you

'Cause baby, you weren't made to carry such a load
Lay it down and we can watch it go down the river of grace
Oh, the river of grace
And all it takes is a little bit of faith
And Jesus comes and carries it away down the river of grace
Oh, the river of grace

Cast your every care, cast them way out there
In the river deep, in the endless supply
And feel your heart rise up from that cleansing flood
So clean and free, so true and alive
So true and alive, so true and alive

'Cause baby, you weren't made to carry such a load
Lay it down and we can watch it go down the river of grace
Oh, the river of grace
And all it takes is a little bit of faith
And Jesus comes and carries it away down the river of grace
Oh, the river of grace

He's got it, baby, He's got it, baby
Won't you let your heart swing open wide?
He's got it, baby, He's got it, baby
