River and Crown

[Verse 1]
I heard an old tune rise
From a hidden place of prayer
David struck a holy string
And the air shook everywhere
But you don’t need the lesson
When your heart won’t open wide

[Pre-Chorus]
Still the walls come down
When mercy starts to sing
Still the walls come down
At the touch of one more King

[Chorus]
Lift it up, lift it up
Let the river roll
Lift it up, lift it up
Let it heal your soul
I was lost, now I’m found
By the mercy sound
Lift it up, lift it up
Let the river roll

[Verse 2]
Mama sang in the kitchen
With flour on her hands
Daddy bowed beside the chair
Like a broken, grateful man
And every cracked-up corner
Learned to glow in that old light

[Pre-Chorus]
Still the walls come down
When mercy starts to sing
Still the walls come down
At the touch of one more King

[Chorus]
Lift it up, lift it up
Let the river roll
Lift it up, lift it up
Let it heal your soul
I was lost, now I’m found
By the mercy sound
Lift it up, lift it up
Let the river roll

[Bridge]
If I got one more breath
I’m gonna raise my hands
If I got one more tear
I’m gonna praise the Lamb
You turned my midnight red
Then you filled it up with gold

[Chorus]
Lift it up, lift it up
Let the river roll
Lift it up, lift it up
Let it heal your soul
I was lost, now I’m found
By the mercy sound
Lift it up, lift it up
Let the river roll
