[Verse 1] I was born where the red dirt meets the sky Where the cicadas sing and the wind rolls by (sweet wind) Mama’s prayers floated out that screen door light Said, “Boy, stay humble, and your soul’ll be right” [Verse 2] Well, I’ve wandered far, and I’ve worn my sin Like dust on my boots that won’t brush in But when I hear that choir on a Sunday morn My heart comes home like it was reborn [Verse 2 - Crowd singalong] There’s a river runs through me, clear and wide Washin’ my shame like a holy tide I once was lost, now I can see That river of mercy still runs through me [Verse 3] The preacher shouts, and the people stand Hands held high all across this land Voices rise, and I start to cry ‘Cause grace feels real when you look God in the eye [Instrumental] [Bridge] Lead: Lord, I hear You callin’ my name Choir: Callin’ my name Lead: Pull me out of the fire and flame Choir: Lift me higher (Oh Lord) Lead: Let that spirit roll, let the trumpet sound Choir: Glory’s comin’ down-- [Epic Final Chorus – Full Choir, Band Swells] There’s a river runs through me, pure and wide Fillin’ my soul with holy light Take me home where the faithful be That river of love still runs through me There’s a river runs through me, pure and wide Fillin’ my soul with holy light (holy light) Take me home where the faithful be (take me home) That river of love still runs through meee [Instrumental] [Outro – Choir Fading, Gentle Organ] Mmm… that river runs through me Oh Lord, it runs through me... [Cheers and applause]
