Come Down to the River

from The Mad Preacher by The Songs of Tom Smith

lyrics

CHORUS
Come down, come down to the river
For the holy, holy Spirit
Come down, come down to the river
In tongues, in tongues to speak it

Education’s contamination on the truth of God a curse
I don’t need to be ordained into any of your Churches
I was struck with fevers and spasms, hear the demons as they leave
M’only defense, Divine Intervention, pray u be healed
Pray and you’ll be healed

God will provide, don’t give me your money in church collection plates
Ministers forsake all possessions, for inspiration pray
Bible is the text, I am the mouthpiece, the Holy Spirit to teach
My only defense, Divine Intervention, pray and you’ll be healed (pray..)

CHORUS
Bridge
He will answer all your prayers
In his name for me swear

Inst

This Christian Life it is attractive, we dress with style and grace
With the power of Jesus I heal my flock, but they try to smear my name
Charged me with sexual perversion, sullied my esteem
My only defense, Divine Intervention, pray and you’ll be healed (pray..)

It takes 3 days to resurrect so we don’t report the deaths
Broke her arms n legs, put a pillow to her mouth, but she will rise again
Her cries are only the screams of the demons as they leave
My only defense, Divine Intervention, pray and you’ll be healed (pray..)

CHORUS

(speak in tongues)…. in his name for me swear
