Verse 1 
     Am                               C 
Now, in my house there's been a mercy k*lling 
    G             D/A            Am 
The man I used to be's been crucified 
        Am                                      C 
And the death of this man is the final way of revealing, 
       G                 D/A           Am 
In the spiritual way, to live I had to die 
Verse 2 
 
    Am                            C 
Now if I let that dead man linger in me, 
  G                  D/A        Am 
I might get a little idle in my way 
       Am                            C 
So I'm going down to the celebration river, 
      G                  D/A             Am 
Gonna take this dead man down to a water grave

Chorus 
Am                    C 
I'm going down to the river 
G            D/A    Am 
I'm gonna be buried alive 
Am                C 
I want to show my Heavenly Father, 
    G            D/A            Am 
The man I use to be has finally died 
 
Bridge  
       Am 
When I think of where I'm going 
   C 
In terms of where I've been, 
   G                D/A                 Am 
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again       x2

I want to show my Heavenly Father, 
    G            D/A            Am 
The man I use to be has finally died       x2
