It's Friday and my bills are due
My 3 month old baby need some shoes
Can you feel what I'm going through?
Clock on the wall keeps tickin' tockin'
No stoppin and somebody's knockin'

On the do tellin' me to go
My brotha I can't take no mo'
So with my knees I hit the flo'
And say help me Jesus, help me Jesus

Chorus:
Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest your troubled minds
Down by the riverside

If I concentrate on all the bad
And all the things I wish I had
How can the dark clouds ever pass?
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning light
God'll keep your spirit right
So, no matter what the people say
Ain't nobody takin' this joy away
Inspite of everything I've been through
I can say
Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus

Chorus 2x

I know sometimes troubles come
Everybody goes through the storm and the rain
But listen, weeping may endure for a night
But how many of ya'll know that joy cometh in the mornin'?
I need a witness up in here

Chorus 2x

There's a blessin' in the water ya'll
By the riverside
Say what now
There's a healin' in the water ya'll
By the riverside
Say what now
