Lyrics

Can't we stand at the river
And wash away our sins
Can't we see our identity
As one in God's hands
Can't we climb the highest mountain
Together a parade
Or the day will come
We'll be undone
We're each one of us handmade

What's to be gained from darkness
What's to be proven from pain
Who sets the boundaries
Who of us will ever feel the same

Can't we stand at the river
And wash away our sins
Can't we see our identity
As one in God?s hands
Can't we climb the highest mountain
Together a parade
Or the day will come
We'll be undone
We're each one of us handmade

When will we march toward lightsong
When will we abolish pain
Can we find some space for grace soon
Who of us will ever feel the same

Can't we stand at the river
And wash away our sins
Can't we see our identity
As one in God's hands
Can't we climb the highest mountain
Together a parade
Or the day will come
We'll be undone
We're each one of us handmade

This sister has a beautiful voice, perfect for this slightly jazzy, bluesy-sounding gospel song. The vocal is perfectly executed...technically and also with feeling. The piano accompaniment is very beautifully done and suits the song nicely. Favorite rhyme: parade/handmade.
