lyrics

I went down to the river to pray
Trouble struck me on my way
All of heaven heard me say, Why oh why

By that weeping willow tree
Sorrow got the best of me
Only one song I could sing was Why oh why?

What has been done we cannot undo,
But love is never lost when the worst is true
I got nothing here but a broken heart
Giving you praise in the hardest part

On those banks where I was saved,
Anguish dug my heart a grave
Oh Redemption, you're delayed, Why oh why?

There's no strength to carry this,
Comfort is my only wish
Some things you just won’t help me with, Why oh why?

What has been done we cannot undo,
But love is never lost when the worst is true
I got nothing here but a broken heart
Giving you praise in the hardest part
Giving you praise in the hardest part

I went down to the river again, shed my tears and jumped on in
Let it wash my salty skin, by and by
And by that weeping willow tree,
Sorrow lost it's hold on me the Holy Spirit lifted me to fly oh fly!
