KIRK FRANKLIN:
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE GOING THROUGH
I WANT YOU TO WIPE EVERY TEAR FROM YOU EYE
CAUSE JESUS SAID HE'LL MEET US SOMEDAY
DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
CAN I GET A WITNESS UP IN HERE

CHOIR:
IT'S FRIDAY AND MY BILLS ARE DUE
MY 3 MONTH OLD BABY NEED SOME SHOES
CAN'T YOU FEEL WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH
CLOCK ON THE WALL KEEPS TICKING TOCKING
NO STOPPING AND SOMEBODY'S KNOCKING
ON MY DOOR TELLING ME TO GO
BROTHER I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
SO WIT MY KNEES I HIT THE FLOOR
AND SAY HELP ME JESUS, HELP ME JESUS

CHORUS:
LET'S GO DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
LEAVE YOUR PROBLEMS ALL BEHIND
YOU CAN REST TOUBLED MINDS
DOWN BY
THE RIVERSIDE

KIRK FRANKLIN:
I DON'T THINK YOU HEARD ME THE FIRST
SO THEN WHY DON'T I SAY IT ONE MORE TIME
EVERYBODY JESUS IS GOING TO MEET US DOWN THERE
BY THE RIVERSISE
ONE TIME FOR THE HOLY MIND

CHOIR:
IF I CONSENTRATE ON ALL THE BAD
AND ALL THE THINGS I WISH I HAD
HOW CAN THOSE DARK CLOUDS EVER PASS
WEEPING, ENDURING FOR LIFE
BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING LIGHT
GOTTA KEEP THE SPIRIT RIGHT
SO NO MATTER WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY
AIN'T NOBODY TAKING THIS JOY AWAY
INSPITE OF EVERYTHING I BEEN THROUGH
I CAN SAY
THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU JESUS

CHORUS(2X):
LET'S GO DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
LEAVE YOUR PROBLEMS ALL BEHIND
YOU CAN REST TOUBLED MINDS
DOWN BY
