The River Washed Me Clean 🌊 Country Gospel Baptism Song

The River Washed Me Clean – an upbeat country gospel testimony song about a creek-side baptism, a praying Grandma, and the grace that washes every stain away. Turn it up, sing along, and remember the day the Lord made you new. 📖 "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." – Acts 22:16 (KJV) 🎵 Lyrics I was seventeen and running from the Lord Had a heart full of trouble and a head full of war But Grandma took my hand one summer morning And she walked me down to the river's shore The preacher stood waist-deep in the water And the whole church sang on the muddy bank I went down a sinner with a load of sorrow And I left every chain at the bottom where it sank And the river washed me clean Took the stains that no one else could see Down in the water, I was set free Lord, the river washed me clean Every sin I'd carried, every shame Rolled on down and never came back again I came up singing like I'd never been Lord, the river washed me clean Now the years have turned my hair to silver And the church house roof is leaning in the wind But I still drive down to that river When I need to remember where I've been And the river washed me clean Took the stains that no one else could see Down in the water, I was set free Lord, the river washed me clean Every sin I'd carried, every shame Rolled on down and never came back again I came up singing like I'd never been Lord, the river washed me clean There's a river flowing from the throne of grace Where the weary come and the broken find a place If you're tired and you're dirty from the road Come on down, child, let it take your load And the river washed me clean Took the stains that no one else could see Down in the water, I was set free Lord, the river washed me clean Every sin I'd carried, every shame Rolled on down and never came back again I came up singing like I'd never been Lord, the river washed me clean Lord, the river washed me clean Washed me clean 🙏 Where were you baptized?
