Devil In The Water Lyrics by Hailey Hutcheson
Walked down to the river, sky hanging low
Carried my past like a heavy stone
Preacher said, “Do you wanna be free?”
Stepped in cause I wanna be
Face to face with who I was
And who I wanna be
I took a breath as I confessed
Yes Lord, I believe
Oh I went down a sinner
Drowned my shadows in the river
Rushing waters buried what is left of me
Oh a voice like the thunder
Broke my chain that held me under
Oh the gallows finally met their reckoning
I left the devil in the water
Tears down my face, shame erased, I looked up
Breathed in new air in my lungs
Watched the river wash away what I couldn’t change
When mercy called me by name
Oh I went down a sinner
Drowned my shadows in the river
Rushing waters buried what is left of me
Oh a voice like the thunder
Broke my chain that held me under
Oh the gallows finally met their reckoning
I left the devil in the water
Face to face with who I was
And who I wanna be
I took a breath as I confessed
Yes Lord, I believe
Oh I went down a sinner
Drowned my shadows in the river
Rushing waters buried what is left of me
Oh a voice like the thunder
Broke my chain that held me under
Oh the gallows finally met their reckoning
I left the devil in the water
