for a 1/4 measure, the E for a 1/2 measure, the A for a 1/2 measure, the G for a 1/2
measure, and the C7M starts the verse. The last A and G chords are played in 2/4 time,

compared to the rest of the chords in the song.

                            D                             C7M
The long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
                                        D                            C7M
They?ve carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
                               D
And like the rain, I have been carried here
                    E          A2 G C7M
To where the river flows yeah
                          D                             C7M
My heart is racing and my knees are weak as walk to the edge
                              D                             C7M
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
                           D                                 C7M
And in the rush I hear a voice that?s telling me it time to take the leap of faith
    B4
So here I go

Chorus:
E             B            C#m7

In over my head I wanna be
E                 B              C#m7

In over my head I wanna go

Verse 2:
C7M                   D                             C7M
There is a supernatural power in this mighty river?s flow
                           D                            C7M
It can bring the dead to life and it can fill an empty soul
                            D                             E
  A2 G C7M
And give our heart the only thing worth living and worth dying for yeah
C7M                    D                           C7M
But we will never the awesome power of the grace of God
                           D                           C7M
Until we let ourselves get swept away into theis holy flood
                                D
So if you take my hand we?ll close our eyes and count to three

And take the leap of faith come on let?s go!
