Had a wife back home
I was on my way to see her
And my baby boy
He was only three years old
But a man came in
He didn't want our things
For what he took that night
I would give it all away
I knelt down and picked them up
Wash the blood from your hands
Lay down in the river
Oh my sweet child
I will deliver
Once the blood turned cold
He went to load his gun
"I will hunt this man
No matter how far he runs!"
He searched around for months
Leaving no stone unturned
But everywhere he went
There was nothing to be learned
And as the man sat by a fire he looked over his shoulder all night
He held his head in his hands and he cried, knowing full well he deserved to die
"What have I done? I am no man! But You, You are the great I Am
Who so ever believes in you, Oh God, My God, Oh God, I do!"
Wash the blood from your hands
Lay down in the river
Oh my sweet child
I will deliver
