Take me down to the river
Let me wash my sins away
I've been singing with the angels
Now the devil's come out to play
Oh, devil, my soul is in your hands

Lord, I've been righteous, trying to be good when temptation came a'knocking
I did the very best I could
Oh, devil, I did not stand a chance
So just let it rain

(Rain down on me)
Wash me clean and baptize me
(Rain down on me)
Come on, wash away my pain
(Rain down on me)
The devil got inside me
(Rain down on me)

It's too late for redemption
Too late to say a prayer
But I can't waste my time on being lonely
Can't waste it on despair
Oh, devil, come on, do the best you can
So just let it rain

Hear me, brother hear me, sister
Just listen
All I have to say is ooh, let it rain
(Rain down on me)
(Rain down on me)
Come on, wash away my pain
