The Imperials — Water Grave

Now in my house there's been a mercy killing The man I used to be has been crucified And the death of this man Was the final way of revealing In the spiritual way to live, I had to die Now if I let that dead man linger in me I might get a little idol in my way So, I'm going down to the celebration river I'm gonna take this dead man Down to a water grave I'm goin' down to the river, my Lord And I'm gonna be buried alive I want to show my Heavenly Father The man I use to be has finally died I'm goin' down to the river, my Lord And I'm gonna be buried alive I want to show my Heavenly Father The man I use to be has finally died When I think of where I'm goin' In terms of where I've been It makes me glad to know, my Lord That I've been born again I'm goin' down to the river, my Lord And I'm gonna be buried alive I want to show my Heavenly Father The man I use to be has finally died I'm goin' down to the river, my Lord And I'm gonna be buried alive I want to show my Heavenly Father The man I use to be has finally died I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down, born again) (I'm goin' down, born again...)
