Couplet 1

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

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

‘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

Couplet 3

Here's the beautiful thing
That river runs inside you
And you can go anytime
And it's there
Your Savior waits for you
Yea He's waiting there for you

Refrain

‘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

Pont

Cast your every care
Cast them way out there
In the river deep
In the endless supply

Pont

And feel your heart rise up
From that cleansing flow
So clean and free
So true and alive

Tag

So true and alive
So true and alive

Refrain

‘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
