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
