Jars Of Clay lyrics - There Is A River

album: Good Monsters (2006)
genre:

There is a river that washes you clean 
There is a tree that marks the places you've been 
Blood that was spilled, although not your own, 
For all of your tears, are the wages for things you have done 

And all of those nights 
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind 
Give it up, Let go 
These are things you were never meant to shoulder 

There is a river that washes you clean 
There is a tree that marks the places you've been 
Blood that was spilled, although not your own 
For all of those tears, love will atone 

So, give up the right 
To control the waves that empty out your life 
Above wild skies 
Are the rays that break the shadows we design 

Give it up, let go 
These are things you were never meant to shoulder 
Give it up, let go 

There is a river that washes you clean 
There is a tree that marks the places you've been 
Blood that was spilled, although not your own 
For all of those things, love will atone 

I know the world can turn in different ways 
Most of the time, we're simply hanging on 
And under the signs of how we all behave 
We might find the place that we belong 

There is a river that washes you clean 
There is a tree that marks the places you've been 
Blood that was spilled, although not your own 
For all of these things, love will atone 

For all of those nights, that you cried all alone 
All of your tears, love will atone
