In my house there’s been a mercy killing.
The man I used to be has been crucified.
And the death of this man was the final way of revealing,
In the spiritual way to live, I had to die.
Now if I let that dead man linger in me,
I might get a little idle in my way.
So, I’m going down to the celebration river,
And take this dead man down to a water grave.
I’m goin’ down to the river.
And I’m gonna be buried alive.
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
The man I used to be has finally died.
Now when I think of where I’m goin’,
In terms of where I’ve been,
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I’ve been born again.
Now when I think of where I’m goin’,
In terms of where I’ve been,
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I’ve been born again.
I’m goin’ down to the river,
And I’m gonna be buried alive, in Jesus Name,
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
The man I use to be has finally died.

I’m sorry to say I don’t know. Perhaps it’s available on their website.
