Well I was doublin’ over the load on my shoulders
Was a weight I carried with me everyday
Crossin’ miles of frustrations and rivers a ragin’
Pickin’ up stones I found along the way
I staggered and I stumbled down
Pathways of trouble
I was haulin’ those souvenirs of misery
And with each step takin’ my back was breakin’
‘Til found the One who took it all from me
Down by the riverside
(Down by the riverside)
I laid my burdens down,
Now I’m travelin’ light
My spirit lifted high
(I found my freedom now)
I found my freedom now,
And I’m travelin’ light
Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys
I was draggin’ those heavy chains of doubt and fear
Then with one word spoken the locks were broken
Now He’s leading me to places
Where there are no tears
Chorus
