Every time I feel this way This old familiar sinking I will lay my troubles down by the water Where the river will never run dry Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted By and by I will lay my troubles down by the water Where the river will never run dry It's been said and I do believe As you ask So shall you receive So take from me these troubles Bring me sweet release Where the river will never run dry Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted By and by I will lay my troubles down by the water Where the river will never run dry There is a river in this heart of hearts With a knowingness Of my highest good I am willing I will do my part Where the river will never run dry Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted Hallelujah I'm gonna let myself be lifted By and by I will lay my troubles down by the water Where the river will never run dry Where the river will never run dry This river will never run dry
