(Intro is four bars of G)

Lord, don’t remember my sins
My sins from my youth
Don’t remember my sins

And father, please excuse my transgressions let
Them blow in the wind like sand
Cause all of my deeds, you know them

Use me as your vessel
I want to shine like the can-dle
Shine like the burning candle in the room

(VERSE WITH NO WORDS)

Lord, don’t remember, (ooh) don’t re-mem-ber
And father, please excuse my transgressions let
Them blow in the wind like sand
Cause all of my deeds, you know them

Use me as your vessel
I want to shine like the can-dle
Shine like the burning candle in the room

Don’t remember me as a tall old man walking
I don’t want to be like the Israel children

Lord, don’t remember, (ooh) don’t remember
My sins from my youth

CAPO 6TH FRET
(key of Ab)

Intro: D G D G

Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart’s been far from you
Ten-thousand miles gone
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me

But there’s blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

In my darkness I remember
Momma’s words reoccur to me

“Surrender to the good Lord
And he’ll wipe your slate clean”

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh-oh-oh- oh

Take me to your river
I wanna know

Tip me in your smooth waters

I go in
As a man with many crimes

Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan

Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me

But there is blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Take me to your river
I wanna know

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know

Take me to your river
I wanna know

[Verse 1]
Staring at the ceiling
Heart’s a record spinning,
round (Mmm)
I’ve been, loving with no meaning
Runnin’ from a feeling now
You know that I wanted you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Mmm, don’t get me started at this time of night
Hard to keep my guard up when the feeling's right
I don’t need nobody but for you I might
And all that I want is you

I just want to see ya, you could come over
I know ya shy, you can be shy with me
You know I need you, and I’m not quite sober
I know ya shy baby, you can be shy, it’s alright
I just want to see ya, you could come over
I know ya shy, you can be shy with me
You know I need you, and I’m not quite sober
I know ya shy baby, you can be shy, you can be shy with me

[Verse 2]
Met you back in August
Thought you were standoffish,
coy (Mmm)
But you don’t have to try
I’ll read between your lines (Ohh)
‘Cause all that I want is you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, oh oh why, (you ain’t gotta hide who you are tonight)
No, take your time, (we can move slow with your hips on mine)
Hey, you’re so shy, (won’t you come ‘round here and waste my time)
‘Cause all that I want is you

I just want to see ya, you could come over
I know ya shy, you can be shy with me
You know I need you, and I’m not quite sober
I know ya shy baby, you can be shy, shy, it’s alright
I just want to see ya, you can come over
I know ya shy, you can be shy with me
‘Cause baby I need you, and I’m kind of shy too
Maybe tonight baby, you can be shy, you can be shy with me
